Tijdens Christopher Street Day is Berlijn nog nét even wat extravaganter, toleranter, liefdevoller en kleurrijker dan normaal. Dat was – ondanks de heftige onweersbui – echt genieten gisteren! Op m'n blog staat een verslag van de Berlijnse pride met meer foto's. Let love rule ???️‍? #csdberlin #csdberlin2017 #berlinpride #christopherstreetday #berlin #berlijn #schöneberg #prideweek
