Stunning capture my friend. God Bless.
Oh wow! This must be where you were standing when you took the picture of the place where you're standing when you took this picture ... ... Dang. Well, I know what I mean! LOL! Cool!
Wunderschöne Nacht und Nebel Aufnahme vom "Lulatsch" wie ihn die (Ost)Berliner nennen.
sieht toll aus.
Atmosphere in a night shot, well done!
klassisches Berlin-Motiv, sieht gut aus bei Nacht
Great shot of this tower Sig so now we know where the last shot was taken from..
I had gone into East-Berlin in 1984, something Americans could do, but not the West Berliners or West Germans. We had to exchange money into the worthless East german currency before we were let in through Checkpoint Charlie. The atmosphere in East-Berlin felt like something out of the movie 'Schindler's List'. Depressing. To me it looked like Berlin in the 1940s. Lines around a butcher shop, people standing in a long line and waiting to buy meat or sausage, but most hooks and shelfs in the store were empty. Then we went to a Konditorei, a pastry store, and had a slice of Kuchen and a cup of coffeee and when we asked for seconds, we were informed by the waitress (or owner) that she didn't have anymore and she was very apologetic about it. On this visit into East-Berlin I wore Levi's (jacket and pants), with an inlaid belt buckle and carried a Nikon. While on the S-Bahn (the city train) I became aware of people covertly checking me out. I found out later that genuine Levi pants were selling for $600 on the black market. I also couldn't get rid of the feeling that I was being observed. When we came back into West-Berlin, street lights blazing, Mercedes' drag racing a BMW or something like that off the light I felt like I had left a prison. It was a good feeling to feel free again. Much later, after the wall had come down, my mother had a lady (from former East-Berlin) come to help her with her daily chores five times a week. This lady, a trained professional but at that time willing to do anything, told me that of the 4 or 5 levels in the Sphere at the top of the tower, one was a restaurant, one was the observation deck and the others were occupied by secret police, and yes, she confirmed that I was being shadowed for the entire time I was in East Berlin.

wow Sig - i remember this place - and your shot is fantastic !!! wow !
very beautiful capture
That is a scary comment that you left us Sig. My father raised us to only believe 10% of what we heard or read. And even to the point that we were only to believe 90% of what we actually saw. That was pre-CNN late 1940s and 1950s. What a time in history for you to get to explore both sides of the wall. Another great shot and POV. Dana
