commuting into Christmas

The weather has mostly held on to enable bike commuting to last this far. It is cold, but if it is dry then biking is doable. Some shots and a bike cam video from this week..


Spree River sculpture at Treptow. "Dock" jetty in background was a Berlin Wall fortification and supported a guardtower at the end so the soldiers could watch the river.


Taken from the Oberbäumbrücke looking East. Building on left is the Razorfish office. Being on the East side of the river, it was in the GDR. Built in the 1880's, it once handled all the eggs that came into the country. Like, every egg that was imported to the GDR apparently somehow went through this building.


Jay a tad cold, but still enjoying sun on face. Standing on the main runway at former Tempelhof airport, the main American base during the Berlin Airlift and later.


Here's the video from the bike cam:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHg8BbdRssk&index=6&list=PLHnB9FV14hQX2zv1bClWu1mqL1dvIWbCw


Today we take off for Dresden with Pam and Hank to go revel in the Christmas Market there. Taking the ICE speed train and we are staying right near the main city square where all the action will be.
