It is somewhat amazing to see how many Berliners own a tripod. Now that the festival of lights is happening (see one of the last posts) it seems that everybody who owns one got out and is walking around downtown to make some photos of the illuminated buildings. There was such an enormous traffic for instance on Unter den Linden, it seemed like during rush hour. On the one side this is understandable since this is the only weekend during the festival where people have a chance to make photos, on the other side I wonder if this is the only time these people go downtown to look at interesting sights there. Because there are many other interesting things to see too and there is always something new there.
I am not quite sure but I guess this lightcube here near the Dom Aquaree is not a part of the festival, it is new and hopefully it will be permanently there. I like it a lot especially since it changes its colors all the time. So, come on guys, visit downtown from time to time and just look around and you will find something else interesting.
Here are more photos .
Addition, 28th of October 05: Yesterday I saw that sadly the lightcube is gone. If it was a part of the festival of lights and why it couldn’t stay - I understand that the different lighting of the buildings had to go away - and who designed it I don’t know. So I asked the people who organised the festival in an email. When I have answers I will add that to this post.
