A panorama shot of the MELT! festival site...

and of a digger...

A haidresser salon -- their owners were creative with that cool wallpainting above! (I love the nightshots this camera makes!!)

and of the houses...

And right next door, this run down, old, unrestored wreck. Contrasts..

beautifully restore facade of a Berlin house.

Marxist monument (in this case, Ernst Thälmann! I was a Thälmann Pioneer when I was a Kid! :-) -- of course, with respectless graffitti. Anyway, they tore down almost all of them after the change (anything communist was "bad") - but this one survived...

socialist scyscrapers... -)

up close...

The Strassenbahn (tram) - hey, it's SUNSHINE yellow!

inside the tram...

a tower of Frankfurter Tor

evening over Berlin...

tearing down the tent..

ah, another impression

we didn't even need any drugs to find the light deco cool!!!

the morning after...

Helen and the trumperter rocking...

"Mouse on Mars" doing a live electronic act. VERY cool!

dancing under diggers...

well, I liked it... :-)

with his "puppet MC" !!!

hehe! Fake Police... But they had enough real security, too. Even searched my WALLET for pills...

people hanging with the diggers

here's looking at you, kid!

al final, the sun came out a little bit...

look who's cool! :-) People loved the T-Shit. Some Becks commercial photographer even took pix of of because of the T-Shirt!

ran into Helen, ex-girlfriend! And guess what, she was there with the trumpeter!! Good vibes, though... :-)

the lake. someone said it is poisonous, but we DID swim and survived. Well, untill now, anyway...

it was about to rain, but then it didn't... thanks! ;-)

passed out, hihi...

it is 40m high, this digger... imagine the amount of brown coal it has been digging!

people hanging out

Yes, they are BIG!

I doubt one should try to swim in there...
