lazing on a sunny afternoon

Hello again, dear listeners! Apologies for my random blogging absence, I shall try and make amends with some backlog-updating asap. Unfortunately, these sunny photos are not recent - Berlin is no longer quite so bright and warm. I took these happy-snappers about a month ago, when I went to the Mauer Park fleamarket with my french flatmate Marie and her french friend Silvan. It was a glorious day, and after wandering around hundreds of stalls, buying Asterix & Obelix comics, we grabbed a couple of half-litres and settled down on the grass for some lazy people-watching.













Above: Marie and Silvan soaking up the rays.












Above: Silvan reclines, and the peeps at Mauer Park. Mauer (Wall) Park was actually part of the infamous death strip between the two concrete barriers of the Berlin Wall. It's still quite bald and grey, but it's historical richness makes up for it's aesthetic shortcomings.

Below: Sunset on the hill (note the cool swings at the top - talk about 'power fun'!).
