"O Tannenbaum"
Berlin, Germany
"O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Such pleasure do you bring me."
-Old German Christmas carol
Such pleasure do you bring me."
-Old German Christmas carol
This is it. A bit of the only blue sky I saw while in Europe. And it came at sunset in Berlin. Right outside the German Reichstag (Imperial building). Otherwise, it was grey skies that weren't gonna clear up. A towering, yet simply adorned Tannenbaum silhouetted by a fading blue sky at dusk. Such pleasure do you bring me.

Tis the season. A season of celebration that crosses many different faiths. So let's leave next week's Song-ography open to interpretation and individual celebration. Next Tuesday's Song-ography suggestion, once again is...

I saw some sun around here today too! A welcome sight.
ReplyDeleteA song I've always liked.
ReplyDeleteLove the lights twinkling on the bows!
ReplyDeleteThat silly little German tradition, the Christmas tree - oh I I adore it. The thing with Europe is when it is grey it is decidedly gray - but it is Europe!
ReplyDeleteNice song choice! My fave is Deck the Halls, and Frosty the Snowman (the long version.)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing more pictures from your trip. Hope you had a wonderful time despite the grey skies

Reminds me of my grandmothers tree - it looks like it has tinsel (they were German too - Steinbarger)
ReplyDeleteThat would have been my choice as well. A song learned by every child at an very early age in Germany.Sorry about the weather....
ReplyDeleteWonderful shot! I hope we do see more images of your trip. I would love to see more of Germany through your photos -- even if the skies were gray!
ReplyDeleteLovely Christmas tree! Great photo!
