Berlin–May 15, 2026

I took a walk around the hotel area for a while. No particular theme for the day presented itself, so what you have here is a hodge-podge of pictures.

Fence with triangular panels and silver-colored spheres

This is a fence unlike any I have seen before.

Sign for Galerie 37 Projektraum & Atelier. The G is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise.

Nice logo design!

Sign for DIESEeG. Beneath each letter, a colored vertical bar the width of the character above it.

Ornate reliefwork above an arched window frame.

Hello and goodbike. Deine Fahrradwerkstatt jetzt in Schöneberg

Your bike repair shop now in Schöneberg

Actupuncture model with multi-colored lines and Chinese symbols on it.

Seen from a distance, this would be a nice public transit diagram.

Arched doorway with ornate carvings above and two columns each to left and right

Cartoon children carrying books and backpacks, walking across a street. Text in script font: Schulkinder!

Schoolchildren!

In foreground, a brown cylindrical fountain. In background, a painted giant panda eating leaves.

These photos are carvings on the entranceway to the Nollendorfplatz U-Bahn station. There must be thousands of people who pass by them every day; I wonder how many people actually notice them.

Circular carvings including a bear and a person’s face. Between them, carved branches with leaves

Stone circles carved with flower motif, fish, and other animal
