I have a new job and so far that meant less time for taking pictures. But today, on my way home I saw two things, that fit nicely with the theme.





I saw this guitar through a shop window and it's just wonderfully weird. There's a bit of reflection going on because I had to use the flash.



This is one of the underground stations close to my work. It's an underground line, that runs on elevated tracks and hardly underground at all. The big white sign leads to the entrances of the station and I liked the contrast with the sort of mirror writing where the station name shines through it's sign.

That train station is part on Berlin's oldest underground line, which they started building back in the mid 1890s when nobody cared yet about a uniform naming of the lines and the difference of underground and above ground lines.

I don't think there's a German phrase equal to WTF. Most of what I can think of off the top of my head goes into the direction of "hold on a moment". The closest I can think off is Was zum Teufel? (What the devil?)and that lacks a certain je ne ce quoi. But German has acquired this tendency to take in a lot of English words (especially when people try to seem cool) so WTF or Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot does get some use.
