Berlin - A City reborn

It is no news to the global art world that Berlin has been not so slowly rebuilding. Cheap prices and a blank canvas has made this one of the worlds artist melting spots. At every turn there are creative buildings, sculptural works, art galleries and tributes to the past.

Just one example is  Molecule Man, the work American artist Jonathan Borosky. Said to represent unity and wholeness.
What remains of the wall itself has become a work of art, particularly the section known as the Eastside Gallery. Artists from all over the world have celebrated the fall of the wall.

Architects have also had a creative hand in rebuilding and created symbols of unity. This bridge behind the new Bridge over the River Spree joining East and West.

Modern Berliners have been setting up clubs and pubs anywhere in recent years - many of the clubs have now become infamous and set the pace internationally. An example of making the most of things is the beach bars the are all over the city. Grab a cold beer and deck chair and relax almost anywhere but many are beside the river
