Stuttgart New Years


I spent this New Years in Stuttgart with several friends. After traveling with the family for almost two weeks, I kept the travels going. It was a wild time. At a house party we all hiked up a big hill so we could see the entire city alight with fireworks. People were lighting them all over, behind us to the right, pretty darn close. The day after, the city was filthy with trash from the night before. Being good Germans, they waited until the 2nd to clean it up. They know how to party, and they know how to use a holiday, New years to not do any work, and then when it is a day of work, they do it right and clean it up.

The photo is dark, but you can see lots of light from the fireworks and see some trees if you squint. Sorry, but when it gets dark at 4:30pm, you have to expect midnight to be very dark.
