Die Reichstag Kuppel - I hope there's no air raid right now!!!! What a mess that would be.

Hmmmmm....

Too much Schapps - I need to hold on to somethin'...

Sony complex. This is another climate controlling mechanism. Here the flaps open and close depending on temperature and regulate the sunlight that comes in.

Can you spell a tremendous waste of money???? Corporate America here we come.

Ok, this was cool. Mirrors are used to control the climate inside of the Reichstag. The mirrors angle and thus control the light and temperature inside. Pretty cool. The cabinet meets below the glass on the bottom.

And again - this time from the bottom. The mirrors again and the blind in the background. The blind follows the sun during the cause of the day so the sun (when it's ever out in Berlin) is never directly hitting the inside of the building.

Teufelsberg - ein kleines Huegelchen in Berlin. This tiny little bump in the road is the highest 'mountain' in Berlin. You can get up it in 5 minutes <s>... Funny to see the mountain bikers on the hill.

Like father like son. Yeah right. Franzoesischer Platz with some putzy statue that the pidgeons love to shit on...

Brandenburger Tor im Osten. Beautiful weather with pelting rain. No that's not a smile - that's a grimace from the sleeting rain hitting my face!
