Lichtgrenze | Berlin

At the beginning of November, Berlin celebrated the 25th since the Wall came down. Its route was marked by a ring of illuminated balloons, which were released on the day of the Mauerfall, the 9th. 

I'm only putting up pre-balloon release photos as, although the moment was moving, the slow release, one-by-one, of unlit balloons into the night sky wasn't quite as spectacular as I'd imagined it. Those pictures look like the darker ones of this selection, but with less balloons. Picture that if you can.

Berlin | The Hoff

So it was that yesterday, as promised, David Hasselhoff came to town. The man is something of a hero here after he sang 'Looking for Freedom' at the Berlin Wall on New Years Eve 1989, not long after the wall came down.
