I finally got these photos up from our trip to Berlin last winter. Seems strange to be Photoshopping these frigid snow-filled scenes now, six months later, when the weather here is gorgeous, spectacular. It's that time in Denmark now when the sun doesn't go down till after 9pm and the sky is only dark for a couple of hours. It's a specacular arclight sky outside, and I'm looking forward to running down the beach when I finish this.
But it's also great to go through these winter photos because there were a lot of things I've forgotten about Berlin, and the photos bring it all back. The places we visited and the feel of the city. I've been so busy lately that it's been difficult to stay open and mindful of the world
I'd never seen the city before, and while I was looking forward to the trip, the main reason we went down was to see our friends Jeremy and Diana, who had flown over from San Francsico via Switzerland as part of a European adventure. It was great to see you guys as always. I hope we can stay as mobile as we've been the last few years.
I've put notes on most of the photo pages, so be sure to catch those if you want more context. And now to the photos.

We're approaching the longest day in the year, though. That means that after 21 June, the days grow shorter again, sadly :-( But this time of year is LOVELY if you're into daylight ;-)
Kiss,

ha! I've got flyers and match boxes from the punk karaoke up in my cube... Monster Ronson's. That place was phenomenal... other than the epically drunken booths of Berlin-hipster-cult-brats hogging all the stage time.

Posted by: Case at June 13, 2006 08:57 AMnicely done sir... you pics turned out much better than mine. I still wish I could have appropriately documented the intense gusts of wind sending ice particles deep into our ocular receptacles while exploring some of the various Berlin districts. Thanks god for cafe bars and cognac.
