The following pictures were taken at another graveyard that was next to the previous graveyard:

Berlin - Graveyard 2
The next day we visited another graveyard.
When it's freezing they pack the statues in plastic to protect them. They hadn't removed all of the plastic from this statue.

This is a statue of a really scary bird, but the sun made it difficult to make a good picture.





I found a big cart full of compost.
Pine cones!

I found a bird egg on some stairs. Maybe it's from the scary bird, but I wonder why the bird laid the egg here.

Next time: even more graveyard pictures.













Next time: even more graveyard pictures.

Berlin - Checkpoint Charlie
We went to see Checkpoint Charlie after our visit to the graveyard.
Berlin used to be divided into two parts by a big wall so people couldn't get from one part of Berlin to the other part of Berlin. Checkpoint Charlie was a place where people could cross into the other part of town if allowed. Today Checkpoint Charlie is not a real checkpoint anymore, but a tourist attraction.
There were also some pieces of the wall at Checkpoint Charlie. Although I did wonder if they were real pieces of the wall, because some had paintings of the same artist on both sides! How did she do that if she wasn't allowed to go to the other part of the city? I don't think those Charlie people would have thought painting a wall was important enough to be allowed to cross.
