Winter evening melancholia

Longing for sunlight, a sandy beach, green trees, blue water, vivid colors...

Christmas streets

Merry christmas everybody!!!
Here are just some impressions of Berlin during the pre-christmas days. Many rushed to get last minute presents and some others enjoyed the many small christmas markets everywhere with Glühwein and Bratwurst and christmas music (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulled_wine).

First three pics show Schlosstrasse in Berlin-Steglitz.



This one shows the artificial slide in front of the Potsdamer Platz station, where Paris Hilton took a sledge ride a couple of days ago..

And here's the nice inside of the Sony center...

Illuminated trees

If you live in a place where half of the year the trees look like dead without their leaves and where grey daylight is visible only from 10 to 2 you have to be creative. So somebody invented the illuminated trees a couple of years ago.
It's nice and definitely an eye catcher. During the days of the UN world climate change conference it's questionable somehow, though.
Well...most things in life are a compromise between reason and fun :-)
