Protests in Berlin

Spring is fast becoming a favorite around Berlin.  Hello sun!  I can’t believe I almost forgot to share this Berlin scene with you last month:

Berlin has so many creative, inspiring artists.  Some of them built snowmen in a field between the TV Tower (which you can see in the background pointing high into the air) and the Brandenburg Gate.  There were snowmen everywhere – hundreds and hundreds of them.  They all had different personalities and came in different shapes and sizes like you and me.  Their accessories – like funky hats, goggly eyes, and bathing suits, laundry baskets – were all repurposed.

But the most interesting thing was seeing how the snowmen were melting.  They were losing their features.  They were slowly disappearing into the earth.  And they were protesting global warming.

Amazing!

Don’t you love seeing how people communicate their messages?  If you could add a snowman to this collection of protestors or in your own yard, what would yours be doing?  Would it be holding up an umbrella?  Carrying a boom box?  Tucking its baby snowmen in bed?
