Sunrise and snow in a living area. A flat modern building on the right, parking cars and highrises on the left

Throwback Dec 8, 2012. What seems to have been a frosty winter morning. The building on the right, socialist modernism in slow decay, back then only contained a bunch of smaller stores, a walk-in laundry service and a carpenter workshop. And disappeared a couple of years later, making room for a discounter superstore and parking lots. Time passes, and structures change, not necessarily for the better.

Throwback Dec 4, 2014. On the road, Berlin. Lunch break during a business trip. Somewhere near Treptower Park I guess. Poor quality again compared to most of todays cameras and shots; back then again it was more "instant" point-shoot-send. And usually immediately ended up in shorter communications with locals asking or recommending things. This strange kind of interaction was unique to "early" Instagram days and seems missing on virtually any other network ever since.
