Ampelmann



In what used to be East Berlin most of the walk/don't walk signs are ampelmann. While I was there last week, I purchased the bag pictured above. I took other pictures of ampelmanchen on street, and a bunch of other signs (including one for the U2 uberbahn at Zoologisher Garten--how cool is that!) many of which will be posted at my blog along with other pictures from my trip.

I love how the little man is highlighted in the pic. Really draws my attention straight to him!

I'm so jealous that you go to go over to Germany! I miss it! (My grandparents live in Nuremburg.)
Isn't he a cute little walking man?

I also like how he's highlighted in the picture. :)

Great job!

The color is actually the red of our truck showing through the opaque bag :) It was a fun trip--for work, so not all fun. I've never been to Germany before (and I've never traveled completely on my own before), so it was definitely a new experience. I LOVED taking pictures over there, too--I think I came home with my 8 gig memory card 3/4 full.
