Robert A. Heinlein said “Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.”

All I needed was beautiful Carolina, a room and a mask to show that’s true.

Grainy day.

This photo was a test light, it wasn’t supposed to be published, but I liked how natural it turned up to be.
Thanks, Carolina!

Berlin – Bundestag

Visiting the Bundestag is free and it’s a mandatory “Go!” when in Berlin. It’s a majestic building that provides a great view of the city from the rooftop and the dome.

Berlin – Brandenburg Gate

Crossing the Strasse des 17. Juni, we face the imponent and magestic Brandenburg Gate, inviting us to cross it and walk the Unter den Linden.
In December the days are short and cold and the evenings arrive at around 4pm, so I had to use a higher ISO for this photo, but I love the grainy effect on the rich, blue sky.

Berlin – Strasse des 17. Juni

Strasse des 17. Juni, one central artery of Berlin, is the continuation of the famous Unter den Linden. Crossing the Tiergarten from East to West, it gives us this view of the Brandenburg Gate and the Tv Tower.
I had to get the ISO higher for this one, as it was a clean but dar evening. The thing I love the most is that fat moon shining in the sky.

Berliner bike

Using a bike as means of transportation in Berlin is quite normal, even during the cold winter. As we were feeling alone – but not lonely – in the Tiergarten, this young lady rode past by us and kept cycling on her journey. 🙂

Berlin Victory Column

The Victory Column (Siegessäule) is a monument in Berlin, erected in 1873 (inauguration) to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Danish-Prussian War. Since Prussia had also defeated Austria in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71), in 1873,the statue also remembers those victories.

Victoria, the figure, is 8.3 metres high, and is also known as “Goldelse”.

Berlin – Frozen Lake

Winter in Tiergarten means frozen lakes – and this is just a sweet layer of ice on top the on of the Tiergarten’s lakes in Berlin.

Berlin – Grosser Weg

The Tiergarten (formal German name: Großer Tiergarten), is an urban public park of Germany located in the middle of Berlin, completely in the homonymous locality. It’s the second biggest garden in Germany, and it’s amazing how you feel away from a big city while in there.

During Winter, it’s not so easy to find all the fauna, but the flora continues to amaze me anyway.

Awww… lucky me 🙂

Berlin – Schaumkuss

Winter or Christmas markets are great places to take a few shots at the food being sold and served.
In Berlin, I fould these little treats, called Schaumkuss, which consist on Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats with a diversity of flavours: licquorish, just sweet, etc.

Have some if you have the opportunity!
