Gold & Green Berlin. The Siegessaule, built to celebrate Prussia’s victories over Denmark, Austria and France in the 19th Century, presided over some of the 20th Century’s greatest tragedies. Golden Victoria saw her city destroyed and divided; but also saw walls come down, wounds healed and the unstoppable march of love.

Bedbrick Shoreditch. The railway arches no longer actually hold up the railway, which is on the concrete structure behind it, but it does provide a nice backdrop to the stalls.

St Stephen’s Green, across the street, was one of the inspirations for New York’s Central Park. Which makes this Dublin’s Upper East Side.

Lovely, freezing #Montreal from the mountain, taken last winter. Cathédrale Marie-Reine-du-Monde is hiding in the middle.
