Christmas gifting should come straight from the heart and should be received with an open heart. The Grinch

This is the most festive-looking image I have in my more recent collection of archive photos. Even the ornaments framing the roof's glass dome look a little Christmassy, so this image had to be my Holiday upload for this year.
The location itself is a lot less festive given the fact that it's a U-Bahn (subway/underground) station, albeit one of Berlin's most beautiful historical stations (U-Bhf. Heidelberger Platz) along one of the city's oldest underground lines, the U3. Heidelberger Platz station also connects to Berlin's Ringbahn (circle line). The overhead Ringbahn station was opened in 1883, and the subway station followed in 1913. The profile of U-Bhf. Heidelberger Platz is twice as deep as other subway stations in Berlin. This allowed architect Wilhelm Leitgebel to construct a station with particularly high ceilings which he designed as a groin vault reminiscent of a cathedral's roof.
As for my title: In Berlin's U-Bahn and S-Bahn (urban railway) network there are official "busker zones" for street musicians at the stations. The sign that you can see in the lower right corner of my image designates that particular zone for U-Bhf. Heidelberger Platz. So I hope that you all have a merry song in your mind right now and will sing many more together with your loved ones during the Christmas days :)
Wishing you a Merry Christmas, dear Flickr friends!

For Sliders Sunday, a photo of the moon, seen through the winter branches of our American Elm tree.
We had just come back from the airport, where we delivered my son Ben, and his love Deanna, to the departures area. We were sad, and exhausted (since it was the middle of the night), and it did our hearts good to look up and see the moon, sailing in the fast moving clouds, shining down on us and on our son alike, no matter how far apart we were.
The photo is pretty dark... you kind of have to let your eyes adjust to see the sky!
Happy New Year everyone!
This image is a tribute to Marc Chagall, a young artist who was traumatized by the world he lived in and through his art tried to rise above the horror of war. His paintings often reflected dream sequences of flying above the village he grew up in. The question is, did he succeed? The inspiration for this sliding is a photo I took of a coat, drenched in all the colors of the rainbow, this coat is now a part of Chagall's dream.Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century". According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's pre-eminent Jewish artist".[15] Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz as well as the Fraumünster in Zürich, windows for the UN and the Art Institute of Chicago and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra. He experienced modernism's "golden age" in Paris, where "he synthesized the art forms of Cubism, Symbolism, and Fauvism, and the influence of Fauvism gave rise to Surrealism". Yet throughout these phases of his style "he remained most emphatically a Jewish artist, whose work was one long dreamy reverie of life in his native village of Vitebsk."[16] "When Matisse dies", Pablo Picasso remarked in the 1950s, "Chagall will be the only painter left who understands what colour really is".[17] Wikipedia
Sailing can focus consciousness, so much that the rest of the world is merely a blur.
Tip of the hat to Christopher Cross:
"Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing"
Happy Sliders Sunday!
"A tea rose of the colour yellow
Was given by a handsome fellow
He picked it in a secret garden
The place of peace and also pardon"

😄 Happy Sliders Sunday to Everyone 😄

THANKS FOR VIEWING!
Looks so much like broken glass, but really is thin ice breaking up after an overnight flash freeze.
Seems to be a perfect year for ferns, although could be my imagination, maybe just appreciating and enjoying nature and slowing down.
