Spring is in the air.

I try not to talk about the weather in Berlin, it always seems so irrelevant to the inhabitants. Whereas your average Englishman could start 20+ conversations in one day with a remark about the weather, most Berliners tend to find such comments useless and interpret it as an attempt to ask for money. But, anyway, the fact is inescapable: the snow is now apparently gone for good. And that deserves a mention.

The people are outside, the dogs are pooing on the pavement and the parking police are out booking cars again. In fact, some guy in Wedding was so excited about it all, he decided to just bust out and take his couch out to the tram stop. Whether he actually spent time sitting there waiting for the tram or whether it was just a good-natured gesture to the people of Berlin, we will never know. Either way, it's definitely my number one spring time photo.
