#177 - LOOKING DOWN (9 of 365)
Looking down on the pavement I see this plaque on the line where the wall that separated Berlin for almost 30 year used to stand. The line follows the complete length of the wall through Berlin, it's like walking along a historical path, yet one that even I don't remember that fondly.

#153 - HOW ABOUT THIS WEATHER? (8 of 365)
The snow is gone, what stays is ice. The temperatures are getting back to + section of the thermometer yet the soil is still mostly frozen. A very slippery combination, especially when it rains. It makes walking through Berlin Tiergarten impossible...

#339 - TRIO (7 of 365)
Every Tuesday, the Berlin Philharmony opens its doors during lunch hour for a free lunch concert. The concert is free, you only have to pay for the food. People are standing on all floors, sitting on the ground or wandering the halls. I went with my dad who works right across the Philharmony buildings. This week's lunch concert was played by a strange trio consisting of a (piccolo) flute, a (contra)bassoon and the piano. They played wonderfully. Here's an impression of the concert.

#18 - BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE (5 of 365)
This frosty window belongs to my dad's car and is the result of a very cold New Year's Night. So yeah, baby it's cold outside. :D

#363 - WINTER (3 of 365)
I couldn't decide on which one to use, since both pictures show what winter is like here in Dresden right now. It's been very cold (below -20°C/-4°F) and the snow has been there for two weeks now. I really wouldn't mind if it got warmer again, though, since I'm not really a fan of winter. :D

#292 - SNOW OR ICE (2 of 365)
I'm going for a snow picture, since we have quite a lot of that right now. So here it is. :D

#131 - GROCERIES (1 of 365)
The result of today's grocery shopping. I'm amazed it all fit in the bag. :D

365 in 2009
Even though I didn't complete the 366 in 2008 challenge I'm going to try again. I really like the idea of hunting for more themed pictures and hope that it will continue to help me in improving my photography skills.
Here are the guidelines for the 365 in 2009:
1. Photos are to be taken in 2009
2. Post your own work only
3. Post a photo to match each theme
4. “Make Your Own Theme” up to 52 times during the year
5. Images may be edited or unedited - your choice
6. Keep your images, text, and comments appropriate for all ages
7. Support your fellow participants with comments and feedback
8. Have fun and learn something
The list - to be found in the left column - has been thought up by Julie. The completed pictures will be permalinked. The list of participants will be added to one of my blog colums.
Let's see how it'll go this year...
