Nice pics, and the last two make such a cute couple MashAllah...
BERLIN could never be so BEAUTIFUL by night..
as in Winters for Christmas and the New Year..
Seeing is believing…
Can never forget that night of 28th December-08
my host and a friend…took me to KOO DAM
for a night ride…
Seen here on the same KOO-DAM
in front of the Church which was bombed in world war-II
and has been kept intact on the impact of bombing since 1945..
I was taken here right after my arrival
in Berlin from Zurich
This is the most beautiful STRASSE (Street) of Berlin..
since the sunlight faded..we decided that we’ll come again later
and make a video of the wondorous lighting on the street
and we did…
BERLIN ILLUMINATED…UNLIMITED!

and
IN FRONT OF HABSBURG CASTLE…
I wish they’d allow the photography and video making inside the
castle…which is forbidden by law !
Just a slight correction, uncle jee. Habsburg was the name of a dynasty that had ruled Austria for centuries. The name of the castle is not Habsburg though.
It’s called Schönbrunn Castle and is located in the 13th district of Vienna.

Umer...I totally agree with you but as you can see...our guide was a tough lady..and she insisted on no questions though a couple sitting next to me in that coach...too..was quite shaken when we posed questions and she replied very fast that we couldn't follow.....
HABSBURG or HUMBUG!!! I am still not out of that great 1000 guest BALLROOM...inside the castle...which literally made me dance..for a minute..with a Norwegian lady next to me in that line of tourists.....
that we were to follow...HEIDI..our guide!
Thank you...CORRECTION is always good for the soul:)
