The
Wanderlust exhibit was filled with eye-catching landscapes of our beautiful
world. The artists were very articulate in capturing all of the emotions
resulting in gazing at vast landscapes such as this. The "Wanderer above
the Sea of Fog", besides depicting Christopher's doppelganger, allows
viewers to immerse themselves into the artist's world. The fog weaves
through the mountaintops, like people moving through a city. You can imagine
yourself as a wanderer every day.
I
could not stop staring at these paintings. I could easily sit in that exhibit
for a whole day. As a photographer, I tend to take A LOT of photos of
landscapes, which makes me appreciate these works of art even more. I'd love to
paint something as breathtaking as this, but I'm left with my camera and my
eyes. I hope everyone can use their eyes and recognize things you wouldn't
usually look for in Berlin. Whether it's appreciating the architecture of the
buildings you enter or the facial expressions of the actors in the shows
(because you can't understand German), you should take time to connect with the
city.
As
travelers we trek through uncharted territories of our own. Lucky for us,
Berlin is a large enough city that we will never see all of it (at least in
this trip). Remote Mitte helped in breaking our boundaries and getting comfortable
with the city. We are presented with a new “playground” to run around in. Spend
time finding your place or purpose in Berlin.
I will
be sure to upload my favorite photos before leaving…
