Oberwaldhaus

Oberwaldhaus is the really beautiful lake surrounded by woods in the Darmstadt countryside in Germany. I took these shots as autumn was approaching and the leaves were turning magnificent colours. It was rather beautiful.

New Years Celebrations

It's coming up to that time of year when you being to think about christmas and new year celebrations. Two years ago I was lucky enough to celebrate new years in Darmstadt, Germany. In Germany it is legal to sell fireworks for a few days coming up to the 31st. Everyone buys them and us not used to this kind of thing bought loads of them. As I lived in a student apartment block we all headed to the roof to get a full view of the city with fireworks exploding everywhere. It was amazing, so much fun and by far the best new years yet. This year I hopefully will be in Berlin so fingers crossed it'll be just as good as Darmstadt.
