Hello  to you all! Very interesting pics here and a very interesting theme! I love those old things, past and gone. They are so full of memories and stories......

This here is my part of the theme. I shot this pics some days ago as specials for this content.  This special place here was once Berlin`s  biggest railroad stations for freight trains. Nearly 200 trains came in and got out per day.....  Once: That means before World War II.

After World War II all trains in Berlin, even them in West- Berlin, were controlled by the Russians and the  east german "Reichsbahn", and they closed the yard, because it was situated in West - Berlin.....  Plants began to grow and now the biggest  freight yard in the city is covered with a 50 years old wood.......

The railroad station is now a park and part of a system of green areas in Berlin. A group of artists use it for sculptures and events.

Hope you enjoy it!
