Mailboxes

I stayed home from touristing today - I'm still recovering form jet lag and a busy work week. Maybe David will post some of his scenic photos instead.

I was pretty intrigued by these mailboxes... it sort of looks like the building provided the sheet of wood, and each tenant attached their own:

Touristing in Charlottenburg

We were playing tour guide this weekend, and ended up seeing a few sights in Charlottenburg. The Rathaus Charlottenburg caught my eye:

As did this bear:

Statue at night

Spotted on the way out to dinner. This statue is part of the old Cold War era apartment buildings that dominate our neighborhood.

The crane

I didn't manage to get a very good picture of it, but this morning, I was surprised to find a giant crane in front of our building at work. It entirely removed the doors to the dome over my office, and as long as it was light out, there were workmen outside our office attaching loads of wood to the crane to be hauled up to the dome. Apparently they'll be working on it all month...

Fall at the AIP

From work this morning. Plenty of autumn leaves and a statue in repose.

Under the stairs

In a far fancier building than the one we live in, even the undersides of the stairs are decorative.

Florida Eis

Maybe there's something I don't know about Florida and ice cream, but for whatever reason, I find the idea of Florida Eis thoroughly unappetizing.
