I thought you might like to see some pictures, after the fact, to go along with my most recent posts about my Casual and Critical Observations of Berlin and growing up as Children of the Cold War. 
I didn't bring my own camera -- but here are some pictures, taken and generously copied for me by
my friend Anthony Testa, of our time in Berlin.

The traffic lights (above) were, apparently, deliberate throwbacks to the days of East Germany's different ways of doing things.

The sculpture for remembering Berlin's victims of war and tyranny (above) was very powerful...

Not much is left of the old Berlin Wall (above) -- but still just enough for photo-tourism.

It was a good group of men, leaders from various GCE churches throughout the Continent.  We had some very fruitful discussions and had fun while doing it...  In case you're interested, there are a few extra pictures from Berlin posted in the Zolder50 Pictures section of the website.

In addition to Anthony's pictures from Berlin, I thought I would also link to some of the pictures of Marco and Claudia's wedding, taken by my friend Timo de Winter.  I had written about this Full and Complete European Wedding Experience a couple of weeks ago -- but I just noticed today that some pictures were now up on Timo's Flickr site.

A special note to the above pictures is that the bakfiets (bicycle) pictured as the "official bridal couple vehicle" was in fact our own family's everyday bakfiets!

Above, you can see some of what it looked like in the church, during my sermon...

And here to the left is one of the many beautiful shots of the beautiful couple on their special day.  I hope I'm not stealing Timo's (or Marco and Claudia's) thunder in any way, by referencing these photographs.  I just saw them "go public" earlier today and enjoyed them so much that I figured I'd pass them along...

If you want to see more images from Marco and Claudia's wedding, I would again heartily recommend a visit to Timo's Flickr site.
