Berlin was a much-needed breadth of fresh air and a nice reminder of Europe; a city that is both cool and calm, modern and vintage, fast-paced and quiet.

It’s also a place where linden trees are quite at home. If their autumn spectacle is anything to go by, I can only wonder how fragrant the whole city must be in spring, when these beautiful trees are in full bloom.

Here are some photos that I feel capture the Berlin Zeitgeist quite well.
