A week in Berlin
Written By Bjorn Thorvaldsson
The company I work for acquired a small business in Orianenburg, just north of Berlin, which I visited as part of the integration process. Since Berlin is one of my favorite cities I tacked on a couple of extra days to walk around, take some photos and sample the beer.
The weather was glorious, very nice to be able walk around in shorts and t-shirt in the middle of September. I also got into a bit of train riding mood and travelled all over the city.
Photos were taken on an Fujifilm XT5 with the 16-55 lens, and a Fujifilm XE4 with the 50-140 lens.
