I have posted several links with more information about Tempelhofer Feld in previous posts, but here is one I don’t think I have posted yet: https://www.slowtravelberlin.com/a-brief-history-of-tempelhofer-feld/.
Determined to get a better photo of the famous, but sometimes elusive, Tempelhofer Skylark, I went back and climbed one of the “viewing platforms” next to one of the large areas cordoned off to protect its breeding places.
Normally staying at home most weekends, I left home at about 07.00 in order to avoid the weekend hordes of retards who still do not know what 1,5 m looks like.
I always forget how strong, and cold, the wind gets there even if it did not feel particularly windy or cold on the way there. I nearly froze my t..s off and only saw a bunch of starlings and crows. I also took some photos of familiar buildings which I have never really noticed could be seen from the airfield.
Back down, teeth clattering, I started to walk towards the mosque exit and was lucky enough to spot a couple of skylarks, one of them doing what I interpreted as a “come-hither-I-love-you-and-I-want-to-have-your-baby” dance.
Other impressions from the former airfield now playground for young and old:
Made a detour into the adjacent cemetery: (more photos to come)
