Last year I enjoyed Berlin's 'Festival of Lights' and so we all got together and attended this year's.
Here is the TV Tower in former 'East' Berlin. This is what it normally looks like, but then suddenly....
it changed colors! Green, orange, etc...
We then walked down the street called Unter den Linden (Under the Lime Trees). They lit it differently from last year and I think they did a good job...
The Brandenburg Gate was a variety of changing colors, but I got it when it was purple. I thought the Quadriga (the statue on top) being blue was pretty cool!
We made our way back to Alexanderplatz where they were going to have a fireworks show....the show started late- not the best idea in the land of 'punctuality'. Everyone was whistling - European for 'boo!'.
The fireworks and lazer show began and it was pretty good. Here is an 'indexed' photo of a video I shot of the fireworks...
Here is my trusty, ol' Funkturm. It's all crazy lit up...kind of makes me think of an old Frankenstein movie with the electrical equipment, etc.
The Festival of Lights goes on for a few days. On Saturday we decided to meet up and ended up going to the Olympic Stadium. They had red and blue lights working the outside....
And then inside they 'moved' and turned on and off the stadium lights to music. They called it 'the Ring of Fire'....it all seems more UFOish to me in a way....
Goodbye Olympic Stadium and Berlin Festival of Lights!!
