The Colors of the Sun

[Detlef Kuhl]

Last weekend we had the long night of sciences here. We visited the Telegrafen-Berg in Potsdam, a place for astrophysics and the German research center for GeoSciences today. The place was established in the 1870th.

Ah, now I know why you were there! Something else I've never been to!

Was that your film a film? I like that view of the Einsteinturm peaking out of the trees.

Should be the next Pink Floyd album cover.

No, that wasn't my film. The film was placed in a light box, so I only could copy it that way.

Should be the next Pink Floyd album cover.

Oh good idea, have to look for their phone number.

Let's hope their music lives up to it; the last album was downright tedious!
