Amazing view {Eisenbach}

The Eisenbach shows many different faces these days

within a few moments

there is all new

in soften pink light at morning

new steps

on the ice

till more snowfall arrives

Stay warm, dear friends! And enjoy.

Love, Ariane. Rose

Wenn ich ein Vöglein wär

Und auch zwei Flügeln hätt
Flög ich zu dir

Berlin | Joel Meyerowitz. Why color?

With last night's new moon has started the Chinese Year of the Dog. 

Barbara and I drive f(l)ix to Berlin to visit the retrospective of the photographer 

Joel Meyerowitz, New York (photo above by him)

But first coffee! Alas! the café at the C/O Berlin 

is open only for vip people because of the Berlinale... so 

we have a nice late breakfast round the corner

Greece, 1966

New York, 1978

 At the atelier of Cezanne

Heaven Over Berlin

 We're heading to the Hallesches Haus, Kreuzberg

 "This is Nadine. Or Patrice? No, she is wearing a black dress!" ;-*

This place remind us on our last summergathering with the Ladies from the Benelux.
We are wondering where we will meet this year!

and then my battery of my mobile emptied...

The retrospective of Joel Meyerowitz (who will turn 80 in March) is really
amazing and worth a journey. Not only his fantastic photos, also his warm,
wise words I admire very much.

So, we had a great time in Berlin, of course!
We've run a lot and too much, of course (next time we'll take a map with us and
a power bank) and we flop with a moaning into the seat of the (late, of course)
train back to Hamburg.

Next time Irving Penn, Bee!

And, what is your next trip?

Love, Ariane. Rose

Rosenmontag

Hello!

With loud chatter a goose lands on the frozen Eisenbach early this morning. 

It is 'Rosenmontag', Carnival Monday, but she does not wear a fancy dress ;-)

 {only the kids celebrate this day in the North of Germany}.

The weather fools us like in April with snowfall and sunshine in constant change
with hailstorms,  rigid like 'Kamelle' {caramel sweets which were thrown to the
audience in the South/West of Germany during carnival}

Do you celebrate carnival? 

or would you like? in Brasil or in Venice?

Love, Ariane. Rose
