So Berlin had it's 'Festival of Lights' (oddly enough, during Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights at the same time - coincidence you ask?) and lit up famous buildings in the city in a 'special' way.
This is Alexanderplatz (former 'East Berlin) with the Marien Church and the Fernsehturm (TV Tower) that the communists built to 'out-do' the West (in my opinion). What's cool and ironic, is that when the sun hits the sphere of the tower just right, there is this huge cross that reflects off (odd in an atheist, anti-religion state). The locals call it the 'Pope's Revenge'!
This is the 'Contemporary Art' gallery....looking its rainbowishiness! (This word does not probably exist in German, but German is amazing in that you can truly create words that make absolute sense, but some rule in English says you can't ;)
