Bear Signs, Berlin (April 2008)
Images of bears are ubiquitous in Berlin (especially with the presence of Buddy Bears), popping up in all sorts of locations. This sign for fashion shop ‘Look 54′ immediately grabbed my attention – a catchy bear-incorporating contemporary logo, sandwiched in between wonderful old-fashioned details. It seemed very Berlin.

Great framing and I like those two posters(?) which look reflections in a window!
Thanks Monique. I think the things in the window might be a combination of curtains and reflections.
This is great. Such fun!
Thanks Marcie!
I can so see why this attracted your attention, with such a charm incorporating the bear into the olde wordly writing, and a wonderful textural quality to the frame with the window reflections and architecture. Really well observed and captured, and yes, so Berlin.
Huh. Hubby was in Berlin last week…said he didn’t notice any bears. Obviously, you have a more detailed eye than him!
I saw the Buddy Bears in Helsinki. Did they get to Berlin as well?
Well spotted, mate!
Did you also see their Bear Parade? I only saw a couple, not many…
Berlin answer to the Cow Parade, I suppose.
cool framing
I spent several weeks on a trip to Berlin photos, we were a dozen photographers to work on different themes. I loved this city, the bridges are too many bears! Your image is very relevant and we present a bear I’ve ever met. Good weekend to you.
une enseigne originale !!
Nice and original
Very nice!! I rather like those windows above the bear! great detail and colour in there!
Very well spotted! I like the connection to the Birds, Bath image. Fantastic!
