Let there be light!

Since a few years each October you'll find thousands of people on the street when it's dark in Berlin.

It's the festival of light and goes three days but actually starts a week before with the weekend of lights. So artist and other people use the open space, or streets and buildings to put light on them and then to change over to put projections instead.

Many famous buildings are the victims but also bridges and unknown houses get lifted from a colorful ray of light.

This weekend since friday, you'll see moving pictures on the wall, or changing images.

It has not only become very popular to take a walk through dark Berlin in autumn until the morning drops. It also has become much better now.

The pictures you are going to see are more amazing now and even surprising. Of course most buildings who got a shine on are at -Potsdamer Platz- or -Brandenburger Tor- and on the street -Unter den Linden-. These are the main places, if you like it to call them. Even the famous -Ku'damm- is with. And many more and so you have to decide which route to take. Tourist shops and information places and hotels will help you for sure to find out what you want or is best for you as you also can be on a boat tour.

So if you are in Berlin do that walk and discover! But be aware it is cold and even when you can buy the first "Klühwein" you are going to feel cold if you have no scarf and other cloths to keep you warm as you have to wait on some places to watch all the images.

This year I did a 2,5 hour tour and it is much colder as last year, otherwise I sure would have stayed longer. But maybe you are stronger. Just know until tomorrow midnight you are able to enjoy this event and next chance is not before next year October.

Still not sure? Well, look at the pics I made... they may give a little idea and feeling to you.

Love & Light
