Landwehrkanal reflections and colours

The Landwehr Canal is one of the central features of Berlin - and used to be one of two watercourses - with the Spree - which ran across the Wall, before 1989. It's a peaceful piece of water in winter, with few if any excursion boats or other traffic these days. But wonderful reflections on a day like today.

I've not strayed, in the last day or so, from the ten minute stretch between the hotel and the conference location. In fact, I was in the conference location from before 9am until after 9pm today. So opportunities for taking photos were few and far between. And as I have been trying to understand quickly spoken technical German all day, I'm pretty exhausted - not as good at that as I used to be.

But I did learn a lot today about the German perspective on the euro crisis, and prospects for an EU role in relation to this. Very interesting indeed.
