Big Cat morphs into hibernating Bear

Winter is not easy in Berlin, the wind picks up and the sun rarely appears for more than 6 hours a day. The city mascot is a bear, mainly because most of it's citizens take on the creatures characteristics during the colder months, stuffing themselves full of treats at Christmas Markets and then falling into a deep slumber until the sun decides to show its face again.

Okay, this isn't exactly true, but given the weather its hard to fight off the desire to fatten myself up and sleep the next few months away.

Yesterday the sun peeked out for a few hours, this filled me with child-like excitement. I grabbed my camera, hopped on my bike and took some photos of my favorite graffiti.
