Advent calendar December 11

Have you already bought your Christmas tree -- or have you even already put it up? My mom and I bought a tree for her place in late November. We plan to put it up shortly before Christmas Eve -- maybe on December 22nd or 23rd. I hope to put up my artificial tree a bit earlier. Moreover, there's the big Christmas tree on Munich's Marienplatz (Mary's Square). In an article I read that the fir tree is about 100 years old. Last week I took a couple of photos of the beautiful tree with its 2,500 lights which you can see below today's Advent image.






The building you see is Munich's New Town Hall with its famous carillon.

  2. I came her from Penniwigs. Love what you did with the image on your blog header.

    I see that you live in Munich...my oldest son is a photographer who lives in Berlin. Previously he lived in Prague.
