The Festival of Lights

Last week ended the Festival of Lights which illuminated many of Berlin's most famous buildings. Bill went to see some of them and here are a few samples.  In daylight most of these buildings look grey and drab, but at night they looked enchanting.

Here's the Dom (the Cathedral):

 

 

 

 

The Humboldt University with pictures of one of the flower discoveries by Alexander von Humboldt:

 

Another Humboldt University building:

The Brandenburg Gate:

And the changing colors on the TV Tower:

 

Note the green light beam above the buildings going up from right to left towards the tower.

This two-week festival took place all over the city and was a fun attraction for tourists and Berliners alike.
