Description
Location: Waldorf-Astoria, Berlin Charlottenburg
Hello RR friends,
this is a premiere!
Because: The building in the background is the new Waldorf-Astoria Berlin Hotel. This 5-star hotel is under construction, and when it is finished in 2011, it will be the highest building in West-Berlin.
Under construction:
That means, it is the first time that this building is part of the "Festival of Lights 2010",of course, and it is the last time, too!! In the next year the upper floors with the yellow and green lights are very expensive flats or premium suites, they are part of the so called "zoo window" (the zoological garden is nearby). So an installation like this isn´ t able any longer.
So if the hotel is part of the "Festival of Lights" in the next years, nobody knows. But it will be something new, nothing like this here.
I have added a little city night atmosphere, hope you like it. Enjoy!
Friends, thanks for your comments, they are always welcome and a help to make pics better. Hope you enjoy this series as I enjoyed to hunt these pics for 5 nights.
