I started taking walks at night sometimes on my own, sometimes with a friend to move my tired home-office legs. You see some dog walkers around but even Unter den Linden and Brandenburger Tor is empty. Nobody is out there and it’s like in a movie where you wake up and suddenly you become aware that you are the only person around.

I’m one of the dogwalkers in Vienna and am amazed at how many people I see out even without dogs. This time around it’s definitely different to our first lockdown.

During the last weeks I took some larger night city walks. Only once I went through Regierungsviertel and Unter den Linden and it was awfully empty. Very easy to take photos all alone in this places. Normally even at 4 in the morning you’d have some drunken tourists with selfysticks. There is no night lockdown in Berlin and I would have expected more people to go outside and maybe even meet friends for a walk.

It does look a bit miserable. Sharing on my Monday walks tomorrow. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2021 🙂 🙂

I’ve actually grown an admiration for foggy days. There’s a solitude and peace in them!

I come from a region where there is a lot of fog and I miss it so much. Oskar Wilde once said: “Knowledge would be fatal. It is the uncertainty that charms one. A mist makes things wonderful.”

It’s a strange situation, isn’t it? Berlin feels like a shell of its former self in so many ways.

And still: If you go to the parks it’s like at the fair 🙂 Just not at night …
