Metamorphosis – Teufelsberg (Berlin)
The Teufelsberg is an artificial hill in the middle of Berlin. It is made up of the rubble that was cleared out of the heavily bombed city after the war. It is the highest point in Berlin and lies in the former British sector. The British and the Americans built a listening post on the top so they could intercept messages far into the eastern sectors. After the wall came down the occupying powers withdrew and the numerous investment projects have failed leaving the former listening facility in the hands of artists and musicians. A true metamorphosis!

Week 49 – Zoltan…
Week 23 – Private Kozma
I spent some time with one of my favourite photographers at a local Russian graveyard this week. It sounds like a strange idea and it certainly was eery, but it proved to be a place of peace and absolute beauty and hence ideal for photography.
Thanks to my wife for the great birthday present, I just hope a little of his talent rubbed off.
The picture is dedicated to Private Kozma who never lived to see his 40th birthday. (My Russian is non-existent so if I’ve misspelt his name please let me know)
