we are now at the christmas market at "unter der linden", one of the most beautiful areas in berlin.
its cold - with people warmly dressed in winter clothing. We are now standing in corners where there are alot of round tables, all grouped around gas heaters. Most of everyone here have something warm in the hand - a warmed mulled wine, hot chocolate or some other warm beverage.
The area is flooded with soft yellow lights - the type that you would expect for warm pubs. The lights provide a very gentle ambience that helps people to relax and talk, and adds to the gentle atmosphere at the tables.
Despite the cold weather, people are still frequening the market - some to enjoy the atmosphere, some to try out the wines (and other goodies). Its quite a family affair - people of all ages, couples, even those with young ones are often spotted.
At this particular corner of the christmas market directly opposote our table is a street musician playing the violin and accompanied by a guitar. His playing may have been amplified by a microphone, but it is suprisingly lovely instead of jarring.
many came and stopped, captured by his expertise with his instrument. even the attention of of the young were captured and they stood, listening to the delightful redition of various pieces..The mastero's latest performance - "The Swan" sweetly fills the air as we continue into the evening..
