Lost Places - Berlin - Preview

It's been a fairly long time since my last post. There's been so much to do at work and otherwise, but last weekend I took Friday and Monday off to visit my brother in Berlin, and this gave me a chance to explore some really cool sites I haven't had the pleasure to visit before.

I went to see the "Südgelände", an old railroad area which has been used by graffiti artisits and sculptors alike and has been declared a narue preserve. On Saturday we had the privilege of visiting Beelitz-Heilstätten, a complex of overall 68 buildings that were built in the latter half of the 19th century to care for tuberculosis patients. 3 buildings were unlocked and free to explore.
Sunday, I went to an abandoned amusement park and an old brewery...plenty of space!

I am still in the process of processing the photos, so it might take a couple if days, but here are a few first impressions:

A Weekend Retreat

Last weekend the company I work for organized a conference for the entire management level from all four locations of our enterprise.
It was a great opportunity to get to know everyone, work together in groups and of course have fun.
The conference was held at Iberotel Fleesensee in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is located right at the shore of a picturesque lake and the setting sun of early spring gave me a couple of good photo opportunities.

Here are some of the photos I took, enjoy.

This is our CEO during a quick break on the first day of the conference.

I really like the Hipstamatic app a lot, because you can generate so many different moods by combining different films and lenses. Combined with the Olloclip extension for the iPhone which offers wide angle and fish-eye lenses you can really have some fun!
