On three separate evenings this past week I went to look at Festival of Lights. It was good to go on weekdays to avoid the crowds. Tonight was a race against the clock to walk from Victory Column to Brandenburg Gate before the lights shut off for the last time - made it with 2 minutes to spare!

Structures of the Oberbaum bridge are illuminated with vibrant red and blue lights against a dark, cloudy night sky.Colorful beams of light are projected across the night sky over the river Spree with buildings reflecting on the water.A tall red brick building on Potsdamer Platz is illuminated with blue light projections against a cloudy night sky.The brightly illuminated Berlin Fernsehturm tv tower  sphere body stands against a clear starry night sky.A building facade (Hotel Rome on Bebelplatz) is illuminated with a vibrant, colorful light projection featuring swirling patterns in shades of blue, purple, red, and yellow.A golden winged statue stands atop the tall Victory Column illuminated with colorful lights against a night sky.
