The lights on the river are torch swimmers of the Saarspektakel, an annual festival. People are swimming on their backs holding the torches...

Goodbye

One last Flic Flac picture... all of the artists saying goodbye to the audience. They stand in a water bassin, and rain is pouring from the ceiling.

Spinning Wheel

Another Flic Flac picture... The circus tent is huge, so they fit the largest objects in there, like this spinning wheel.

Butterfly

This gorgeous little guy was captured inside McDonalds today.
Put him an empty burger box and took him outside where he happily flew out of sight.

Archipenko

This restaurant might not look that inviting from the outside, but I can high-higher-sooo highly recommend this restaurant called Archipenko.
They serve German cuisine and have many nice wines. They're located at the Saarland museum... make sure to make the owner tell you about the food you're eating - he knows a story about everything they serve - Wonderful atmosphere!!!

This is the so-called Diskontohochhaus that contains offices of Karstadt, a clothes shop, and a fitness studio. Hochhaus means skyscraper, it's one of the tallest buildings around.

Balloon/Ticket Giveaway

Coming out of an art gallery at St. Johanner Markt today, I was alarmed by screaming kids... I checked out what was wrong, and saw dozens of them screaming up to a window where people threw out blue and orange balloons.
Those people were radio hosts of Unser Ding and some of the hard-fought balloons contained free tickets for the Halberg Open Air that will take place on Friday.
All in all, a funny spectacle on a busy day in town... =)
