German Street Scenes
No deep dive with this post into what I am seeing in these post card pictures though I have no doubt I could spend hours doing so. I just selected these as being interesting street scenes with incredible detail and a delight for my eyes to look out when enlarged. Hopefully you might enjoy them too.
It's a good assortment.
ReplyDeleteThere is a huge assortment of similar scenes but I felt it overwhelming to post all ar once.
DeleteHow ornate everything was back then! I'm not sure modernism did us any favors in terms of beauty.
ReplyDeleteIn Berlin’s case, the upcoming war certainly didn’t help either.
DeleteInteresting! Are they all Berlin? I'm sure so much of that architecture was ultimately destroyed in the world wars.
ReplyDeleteI’m assuming most are Berlin and thus guess your assumption is correct. Perhaps in the future I’ll have the time to do them justice and research each one but until then, they’ve been posted for others to enjoy.
DeleteAmazing sharpness and detail for the photography. Such interesting storefronts and vehicles. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteAnd these are postcards made in mass of photographs!
DeleteSomething cool about these old places is that even in modern day, many of the buildings haven't changed much.
ReplyDeleteI suspect none of these buildings exist anymore due to war and that is such a shame.
DeleteMy son lived in Berlin for a couple of years and he always would tell me to come because I would love the architecture and "oldness" of the city. I never did visit because the comfort of home keeps me here. So I do enjoy photos of the travels and trove of others!
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Berlin and have only been to Germany via airport connections. Someday I would like to go to the birthplace of my third great grandfather.
DeleteA lot of time could be spent examining these!
ReplyDeleteI know and it was with great regret I haven’t spent that time but I have too many projects I need to be doing now.
DeleteFun to see!
ReplyDeleteThere were a large amount of these sorts of postcards in the album so I have a couple more posts similar to this one to post randomly in future weeks.
DeleteNice group of German photos.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were very interesting postcards.
