A signpost in Berlin, nearby the Holocaust Memorial Berlin.

this photo was taken in a hotel in south africa (not that you can at all tell) of my friend Rose

I visited Berlin with my school/history department on the 15th-18th of July this year. This was taken at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin, using a double exposure; one of a friend and then one of a stranger in the distance down one of the avenues that the memorial creates.
The memorial itself is subject to fierce debate over its dedication (the murdered Jews of Europe excluding the other minority groups that was attacked like the disabled, black, gypsy etc.), the design of the memorial itself and also the rules of behaviour that should or should not apply.

Either way, I was really moved by visiting it. It was really strange and oppressive, though not in a bad way - I don't think something like this should be enjoyed anyway. It just created an oddly empty place with avenues in all directions and the columns slowly becoming incredibly tall, you could get lost from friends easily and once alone in a city of columns you could get thinking.

It's all your own opinion though. This photo was one of my favourite from the film I developed from Berlin and I think it captures a little bit of the mood whilst there.

We went to Berlin on the 15th-18th of July and we visited the Reichstag. This was taken whilst mid-way up in the dome (designed by Norman Foster).
