Well my time in Berlin is beginning to wind down. I finished the project for my photojournalism class. I think it turned out well - at least I hope that Yvonne (that's her picture above with her shiny new sports car) and Professor Freeman are happy with it and that I can publish it to this site within the next day or so.

So today was just spent polishing photos, cleaning up files and shooting pictures for fun. The Friendship Fountain graces the courtyard of the Galeria Kaufhof in the heart of former East Berlin. The store is lit in a neon green which peeks through the fountain's water spray.

Earlier in the evening I spotted Christophe grilling sausages in Alexanderplatz. Now my moving company won't even put a propane tank on their truck and this guy carries his around on his back! No smoking please.

And down in the subway the passengers are regaled with traditional folk music during the rush hour.

Berlin is certainly a town that has many faces. I'm glad I have a few days to spend with my mother here. I've been saving a few places to see with her - see them with fresh eyes. And a few days of just girl-time is just what this weary soul needs. Until then, I miss you all. Sweet dreams.
