The Turkish community makes up the largest ethnic community in Berlin. When we visited in May 2006, the western side of the Brandenburg Gate played host to a Turkish street fair. Celebration of Turkish culture and identity figured prominently.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
Many buildings in Dresden are being renovated and rebuilt. It's sometimes hard to imagine what the building once looked like, and will look like once again. Photolike images such as these draped over buildings under reconstruction help to fill the imagination until work is complete.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

When we visited in May 2006, Berlin was World Cup crazy with footballs (soccer balls) everywhere. They even managed to paint one on the top of the TV tower at Alexanderplatz. © www.uncorneredmarket.com
Potsdamer Platz was the biggest construction site in Europe at the time this photo was taken in 2003. Take a look at the next photo to see the same view in 2006.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Well, this farmer isn't from Strasbourg, but we stayed in his family's pension for a night outside Nurnburg on our way there. When we arrived late at night, the men of the family were drinking schnaps and when they found out we were from the States and specifically San Francisco, they started cheering on the TV show Streets of San Francisco. Who said Hollywood isn't America's best advocate in public diplomacy? The next morning, the farmer showed us his dairy cows and walked us around his barn. He didn't speak any English, and we little German, but we managed to communicate just fine.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
This nun works one of the gluhwein (spiced wine) and beverage stands at the Neustadter Christmas Market. She represents a convent and monastery that brews beer and other drinks and spirits such as mead and punch. A poster of Martin Luther hanging just over the wine taps holds watch over the evening's affairs.Read more about European Christmas Markets and Reflections on Dresden's Christmas Market.
