I saw the most amazing sunset today, when I was on the train back from university. Of course, i didn’t have my camera with me, and i’m in general no big fan of sunsets and all that “standard image” stuff. But this really was amazing. Hunks of clouds in black and purple, as well as orange and yellow, and a flaming red sky, in the foreground buildings with glowing windows providing an awesome silhouette. People in the train actually took out their mobiles and took pictures of the sky. A nice dramatic finish for this dull, grey and rainy day.

So, the weather forecast was quite good for today. Light clouds and sunny passages were announced. Of course, that’s rare these days, so i made some plans on where to go, packed my stuff, left the house when the sun was shining, somewhat at least. Now, those of you who know my house, also know it takes me about 45 secounds from my apartment door to the backyard. Getting out there, big heavy raindrops started falling down and the sky had changed from light grey to lead. I stood there for a few minutes, got wet, and went up again. Frustrating.
But, at least i got the long overdue update of my blog done instead, removed inactive links from the roll and added a photo-section.
Take care, and hopefully you’re luckier than me, in regards to weather.

Quick interlude: the Holocaust Memorial

On a sidenote: feedback, opinions and suggestions for improvement are always welcome.

Today i made my way once across the city, south to north. Starting at Tempelhof train station, moving north to the closed down airport buildings, Mehringdamm, Friedrichstraße and finishing off with a trip through Hackesche Höfe. Here’s the first part, Tempelhof Airport.
