  Accurate measurements of magnetic and velocity fields in and around solar
active regions are key to unlocking the mysteries of the formation and the
decay of sunspots. High spatial resolution image and spectral sequences with a
high cadence obtained with the GREGOR solar telescope give us an opportunity to
scrutinize 3-D flow fields with local correlation tracking and imaging
spectroscopy. We present GREGOR early science data acquired in 2014 July -
August with the GREGOR Fabry-P\'erot Interferometer and the Blue Imaging
Channel. Time-series of blue continuum (? 450.6 nm) images of the small active
region NOAA 12118 were restored with the speckle masking technique to derive
horizontal proper motions and to track the evolution of morphological changes.
In addition, high-resolution observations are discussed in the context of
synoptic data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory.
