Berlin Now-2018 and Berlin-1965

Berlin Revisited

This gallery contains pictures of Berlin that I took when I was stationed in Germany in 1965 and photos that were taken by my son who made a short visit Berlin in the summer of 2018.
He was able to capture several photos that I have compared to the places I visited when I was there in 1965 - (Berlin 1965 Gallery).
I want to thank him for his beautiful 2018 photo contributions because I don’t have any plans on taking a photo excursion to Europe in the near future.
Included in this gallery are 3 photos that I used that are from Wikipedia and are so labeled because he didn’t get the opportunity to visit those 3 specific locations.
I thought it would be very interesting to compare what was in 1965 and what is now in 2018 (53 years later).
Hope you enjoy this gallery and also my 1965 Berlin Gallery.
