NYC Photo diary: High Line

For those of you who don’t know High Line yet- an old subway station that is closed since a couple of years. Now they grow flowers and bushes on top of it plus arranged some benches for relaxing or sun bathing. How cool is this? – take a good book, a coffee to go, to make a rest in the warming sun.

Over the Top

Well, often heard, often said- New York’s skyscrapers are in fact huge and impressive and giant and breathtaking. In Berlin we maybe have Sony Center, but if you take this and add about 15 more floors you’ll only have a tiny skyscraper for New York relations. However not only the houses are huge- the cars (limousines are really no big deal in New York- there are two options, either the limo is your own and your driver takes you to work every day, or it is a tourist attraction taxi that costs more than a usual one) and trucks are unbelievable for Europeans.

NYC Photo diary II Brooklyn

One of the most interesting and capturing sides of New York is definitely Brooklyn. We’ve heard much about it, Miranda lives there, it is the new Manhattan- in fact everything I heard is true. The district is calm, friendly, artistic and somehow provincial. You can meet actual people who are living there- whereas at Park Lane and Fifth Avenue you can only watch how unrealistic life of the hyper rich can be. What is more I learned about one of the most romantic gestures ever- having your love locked forever with initials on a lock on brooklyn bridge- how sweet it is! 

Christmas time in Dresden

If it comes to Christmas markets and getting into the mood for christmas there’s one place in Germany that is number one in that field: it’s Dresden. The city with its beautiful ancient buildings such as Semperoper and Zwinger. As a birthday present my friend gave to me a short-trip to Dresden- it was a wonderful day since in christmas time you have hardly enough time to spend a whole day with a good friend, just talk and stroll around all relaxed.

Bristol

Home sweet home! Yesterday I got back home from a one week class trip to England. We stayed in a youth hostel in Bristol. Since living in England for a rather long time I never have been to Bristol and was really stunned by it’s art scene.I guess some of you maybe know the street artist Banksy or have seen some of his work without knowing who the artist is. He is from Birstol and of course there is a lot of his work around the city. We did a little tour through the streets and spotted the one or other Banksy art work. Here are just some pictures of the whole trip. (1.) Dyrham Park (2.) on a street in Bristol (3.) Bristol Harbour (4.) Christmas Street (5.) new Ash boots (6.) Bristol Museum and Art Gallery (7.) infront of our hostel (8.) by the water (9.) Banksy street art
