Spent the evening around Gendarmenmarkt. Sat on a bench on the square and sketched the Schiller Monument. Caught a good view of the Plattenbau apartment buildings of Leipziger Str in golden hour light.

Saw Football World Cup final ESP - ARG (1:0). It’s been a long five weeks; I ended up watching many more games than expected (missing mostly the matches after my bedtime) - quite a lot of my free time. Looking forward to what I’ll do with those hours and my full attention span in the coming weeks…

Highlights of the walk downtown Berlin today: crows on the roof of Kanzleramt and knapweed wildflowers at the tram stop (plus got to ride in the brand new Urbanliner tram on the way into town).

The modern architectural building of the German Chancellor’s office features many silhouetted crows on the roof of a large concrete frame with curved and straight elements, glass windows, and a rooftop terrace.Purple knapweed flowers in different stages of blooming are growing near the rails of a tram stop curb.

Went to a new café today. Sketched the room near closing time. One of the baristas offered us some free pastries, so I showed her the tiny drawing when we were talking.

Been letting the Radiohead TV station on youtube run every once in a while. Can’t not watch Daydreaming whenever it happens to play, one of my favorite ever songs and music videos.

Sketched Champi on his balcony bed this evening

Spent a breezy evening on this hot day at Britzer Garten where it’s getting near the end of rose season. Sketched trees on a hill in low sun, then was amazed by the number of wildflowers in the Tulipan area on the way out.

A well-maintained rose garden features blooming pink, white, and red flowers with metal arches and neatly trimmed hedges.Sunlight filters through the trees, casting long shadows over a grassy area near a calm body of water.A vibrant field of wildflowers showcasing a diverse array of colors including blue, pink, purple, yellow, and orange blooms scattered among green foliage.A watercolor painting depicts a cluster of green trees with a grassy and yellow patch underneath, dated in the bottom right corner.

Berlin Fernsehturm had a wonderful cloud and blue sky backdrop this evening.
