If you compiled a list of comments I've made on other people's threads, I'm sure an inordinate amount of them would feature me going on (and on) about the place. Well I love it, and I'm really glad to be going back. It's the sort of place which gets me inspired, gets me thinking. For example, after the last time I went - last November - I decided I'd write some notes about it, just to keep as a personal memoir. A few evenings later, I'd written 35000 words.
Well I'm sure I'll be going on about it much more before very long, but the primary reason for this post was to have an excuse to publish another photograph. There haven't been many yet because I don't have a digital camera, and I have to get the films transferred onto cd at the developers.
No prizes for spotting that the image in question is the Cupola atop the Reichstag, during a dramatic hailstorm which really added to the occasion.

Whoa. Nice. Haven't made it inside that that building yet.
Perhaps we should meet up?
:)
Thanks ario. I'm sure something could be arranged. You could always email me at the usual address, I'll be there from 21st - 26th inclusive.
Hey Trousers, Have a great time, your enthusiasm for other places is lovely, when people are often so jaded now. And I love your blog description, blogging a dead horse, that made me laugh. Oh, I don't have a digital camera either, are we the only two in blogdom?
Thanks nmj. I think the thing is, I'm jaded with many aspects of where I am on a day-to-day basis, so a little time spent somewhere different brings me back to life.
We may well be the only two in blogdom sans digital cameras. A friend who works as a lecturer in lens-based media (everyone's done the "who is Len" joke) tells me I'm what's known as a "wet" photographer these days. Not because I cry when I fall over, but presumably digital is, by contrast, "dry" photography,
Should Nelli Furtado or Jibey want to do some real work, do check out bloggers who are running and make a comment. Pretty please.
The 'Quest for Dignity' needs as much support as possible.

Trousers, we never made it to see this, and would have liked to. Thanks!
No problem signs, glad to be of service :)
Did you never go up there when Berlin was your place of residence? In November it was like a freezer, and in June an oven - no middle ground.
Ah - I've just read the comment on my recent post and that answers the question :)
