Join us on the
☀️ Sunday 🌆 City 📷 Walk ☀️
Of course, the first walk has to take place in my home town:
🐻 Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪
Have you already visited Berlin? Have you taken photos, maybe some street photography? Do you have an anecdote to tell about today's star city? What did you experience there? Do you have any questions about the city?
I was in Berlin 1 day back in 2006 or 2005. I was on my way to Switzerland
Now that‘s a short Berlin story! 😉

You can also use the #leotravel tag which will put it in the LeoTravel community too - https://inleo.io/communities/hive-190432
damn, i thought i did already with the #travelonleo tag because i believed this to be the tag syntax for stuff here “topiconleo“ 👀 😳 will add it immediately, thanks for the reminder 🖖🏼☀️🤙🏼
Nothing wrong with that in the tagging sense, it's just that #leotravel posts it in that community too. I've been using both #whateveronleo and #leowhatever (as well as #whatever on its own) until it becomes clear what's best down the line.
It was around when I set up the LeoBooks and LeoTravel communities that Task and co went mad with #musiconleo (he had set it up in that format and I just left those other communities as is).
We also have LeoFinance, LeoGlossary etc so both formats have merit!
exactly my confusion also 😆👍🏽 i‘m mostly using #whateveronleo and the #whatever only for newbies or general sake of simplicity …
One that is worthy of experimenting with. See what shows up.
i traveled a lot for my showjobs, so i got enough material 💪🏽😎👍🏽
That is awesome. Keep filling it up. You can do a different one each day.
Actually we should add some information about the town/city. I will do that.
The history of other lands is always interesting.
I've never left Brazil, so I've never visited Berlin, but it could be a great place to visit one day when I go to Europe.
Definitely worth a visit!
I'm sure yes. Thanks!
I'm really enjoying seeing so many Threadcasts with different topics.
yep, it‘s great that it kicks off! We need much more content & engagement on INLEO!
For sure.
It's already happening, I can't wait to see how it goes throughout the week.
Obviously you will be rooting for Germany, as the match will start soon.
I couldn‘t care less! I didn‘t even knew they‘re playing until you told me, but hey thanks anyway 🖖🏼☀️🤙🏼
Oops... I didn't know you didn't like football so much. All is well then. 😁

Very nice. What is victorycolumn symbolize?
Here‘s a photo where you can see the four rings of gold plated cannons around the column that i wrote about yesterday:

Victory of course 🤓 but there‘s more of course that could fill the whole night. Let me just give you two little clues. It is no longer standing in its original place because Hitler had it moved for his plans in Berlin. The second interesting thing is that the rings of gold plated cannons around the column are real cannons that were used in a real war.
This is one of the Hymns of Berlin
