20 years of reunification

Built in 1454, the Berliner Dom - as well as various other buildings and sites in the German capital - has recently been subject to a lighting intervention, as part of the Berlin Illuminiert: Festival of Lights. The Festival is part of a wider celebration marking 20 years of reunification and the fall of the Berlin Wall, this November. The festivities spill over, even to the antipodes, with the German Film Festival kicking off 4(-29) November in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin and Wellington.

great pics, thanks Jeremy.
you know, the Berliner Dom is one of my favorite buildings in Berlin...and the Lust Garten area in front, is one of may fav thinking/sitting hangouts in this city. alas i missed seeing it lit up in the fest of lights as we had a mini Berlin/NZ festival of lights (so to speak) as Wellington's own Mark William's was here in Berlin presenting NZ experimental films last week. sigh.
