Fine art at the Potsdamerplatz.
Weaver takes the Bundestag by storm!
The Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedachniskirche. Built in the 1890s, almost destroyed during the war, rebuilt around the shell. It's the new bits that need most repair, naturally.
The famed water clock in the Europa Center. A very clever regulated design of water that takes forever to figure out.
View from a train, somewhere around Tiergarten looking north.
This is the *real* Brandenburg gate, at the seat of the Land of Brandenburg. The construction site in Berlin doesn't really count.
This is the palace built for Frederick the Great. It features fine vinyards that grow grotty grapes. This is Germany, and northern Germany to boot...
Rooftop detail from that house.
Details from the Chinese Tea House. Sadly, Herr Rupert Giles was not at home.
One of the outbuildings of the Neues Palais, now used by the Leipzig University.
The old Rathaus, by the market place.
The Nikolaikirche, from where the seeds of revolution took root.
The Mushroom and her beau.
Just in case you forgot from where Ulrike came.
Ulrike and Richard Carlson.
