Palmengarten Frankfurt Winterlichter
Every January we visit the exhibition “Winterlichter” in the botanical garden “Palmengarten” in Frankfurt.
As night falls, light, sound and video installations transform the “Palmengarten” into a mysterious winter landscape.
The botanical garden was implemented by the architect Heinrich Siesmayer and was opened 1871. Close to the entrance is one of my favorite coffee houses, “Cafe Siesmayer”. Usually we start our tour with a piece of cake and a very special thick hot chocolate. Unfortunately it was too crowded this year, so we decided to buy some sweets, which we enjoyed in the “Tropicarium”.
This picture shows me on my first visit of the “Winterlichter” exhibition 2012, as I was a little child. I love this photo very much.
