IN PROGRESS

After a nice New Year’s Eve at a friend’s place at Engelbecken, culminating in watching the fireworks from a rooftop terrace with a panoramic view, an interesting walk home dodging more fireworks, and an all too short night’s sleep, I thought I would give my camera and myself some fresh air.

“Berlin Läuft” is an annual 4 km run from Brandenburger Tor to the Dom and back, for everybody. There are also prizes for funniest outfits, but I did not see any that stood out.

A blott on Berlin’s cultural landscape – the distasteful circus around Checkpoint Charlie. Close to where I live, I most often take a long way around it in order to avoid it.
Another blott on the landscape. Berlin seems to have given up cleaning itself up. (I took the next photo on 13 December)
