It's even better at night (the train station and the pyramid carousel)!
DUH!
Landlady Uschi gave me a newspaper clipping that gives the following trivia re: the lighting for Hannover's Christmas Market: the light sets cost 105,000 Euro ($122,871); the electrical cost is 11,000 Euro ($12,872); and there are 20,000 light bulbs.
We'll go back, of course. There's Glühwein (warm wine) to drink, Lebkuchen and Spekulatien (gingerbread and "windmill" cookies) to eat, the 30-minute Marktkirche light show to see (inside), and another long street behind the train station of popular Advent sites/sights (not sure what that means). The week is young but it will be so quickly over.
Carpe Diem Noctem is in order!
You are absolutely correct, night visions at the market are much more exciting that the day time! By the way, where are the 100 (or so) more pictures you have taken??? I would love to relive it all again, and again, and again via all of your pics!!
ReplyDeleteHA to both of you, Donica and PG. I DID throw out some of those photos, Donica, but still have several that I will want to combine with others by the end of the week. I neglected to mention in my post that I was definitely planning a photo album of Hannover's Christmas Market as a token of this great memory! I promise, I promise! Thanks to both of you.
