Recently on twitter I posted this picture along with the tweet “This happens in your city, right? ” Judging from the popularity of the tweet, it doesn’t. Outside of Berlin, astronauts are rarely seen at intersections on Sunday afternoons. Living in Berlin you are introduced to a new version of normal, one that is broader, full of color and for some reason more authentic.
Below is a Berlin Photo Essay that depicts my enhanced normality, all captured with my trusty vintage iphone 3G 
Enjoy!

| The astronaut was there on official business |
 |
| This is a street where the former Berlin Wall stood, the double row of cobblestone mark its path |
 |
|
| Just your average fashion designer that I became instant friends with |
 |
| I love the stamp mobile! |
 |
| Close up! |
 |
| Preparing for absinthe in my super secret absinthe bar |

| Yes that is a feather, apparently you missed this post on clean eggs! |
 |
| Hark, a car dressed up like a NYC taxi, complete with the fare posting |
 |
| Berlin’s Erotic Climax, they advertise brothels on buses not sure if it’s on the bus route |
 |
| You are not hallicunating, that’s a tiger moped |
 |
| Berlin is known for it’s thought provoking street art |
 |
| Berlin loves Michael Jackson, he is all over the city. |

Seeing an astronaut crossing the street like that would be my 5 year old nephew's DREAM COME TRUE. Seeing that tiger moped, however, is mine
Great photos.

Great shots, Nicole! Even a year on, these images seem to live “forever” here in the Hauptstadt.
