Germany - Summer in Berlin

  • Dem Deutschen Volke

    This is the seat of the German Parliament, reopened in 1999. The silhouette is recognized from the staged image of a Russian soldier raising a flag on its roof in 1945.

  • Du bist kein Berliner

    Nobody likes George W Bush, especially not on his visit to Berlin earlier this year.

  • The wall

    East Side Gallery is the largest remaining section of the Berlin Wall.

  • Edge of civilization

    This is what you get for ascending 285 steps in a narrow spiral staircase. The angels in Wim Wender's Der Himmel über Berlin also met at this place.

  • Construction time again

    It's hard to believe that this area used to be a nomansland ten years ago.

  • Train of thought

    This ruin used to be the largest train station in Europe.
