The historic double-deck Oberbaum Bridge over the Spree, with Gothic brick towers and pointed arches supporting elevated rail tracks plus a protected bike lane and lots of space for pedestrians. Very cool.

The World Clock in Alexanderplatz. Edmonton and Denver represent! I really liked Alexanderplatz. Not a particularly upscale area, but probably the most vibrant place I saw during my time in Berlin, with lots of people hanging out and doing everyday things.

Arched roof and glass wall of the Alexanderplatz train station. I like the small stone pavers, which seem to be everywhere in Berlin.

The City Has a Counter

Glass, numbers, public water, tired metal.
Bodies making small deals with the city.

Pay here.
Wait there.
Drink now.
Move on.

The City Has a Counter

A short sequence on glass, counters, public water and the small permissions a city gives before asking for something back.

Part of the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus in Berlin's “Band des Bundes” is the Forum Kunst with this large piece of public art. I liked its warm copper color and its placement next to the stairs and building columns, creating an interesting assemblage of vertical and horizontal lines.

I took this close-up view of the glass curtain wall and grand stairway of the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus solely for the lovely composition of geometry and light.
