An early morning view of the Reichstag, before the lawn and stairs are covered with tourists. I like it in black and white, I hope you do too. For more signs, visit Signs, Signs.
Those words are cast in melted French cannons from the Napoleonic wars! I was just reading about this great building!
"When one feels very angry I force myself to talk regardless of my feelings. And every time I do this I am surprised at how many other views you can have on a matter which I find totally clear. Then I have to deal with those views, and this can also trigger something new. " Angel Merkel
A most fitting building for a seat of government, perfect in b&w. Like seeing all the heraldry on the walls on either side of the doors. That might suggest a royalist form of government, but that is not what Germany has.
So great in b/w. I remember the days when the Reichstag was still empty and Rock Concerts were being held with the speakers turned to the East towards the wall which was located just behind.
impressive and imposing, too.

Thanks for these words, Cloudia! Very fitting.
DeleteEspecially when this Honolulu girl speaks about "Angel" Merkel !!! Very funny. Well Merkel doesn't really care about other point of views.
DeleteAmazing, I love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these places without people swarming around!
ReplyDeleteI must say that the B&W place the building more in the past. A not so happy period of time.

ReplyDeletei love it!
ReplyDeleteI do like it very much Hal, it's an impressive building anyway, even more so in b&w. You have to get up and about to beat the crowds :)
ReplyDeleteVery imposing !
ReplyDeleteLike the b&w choice.

ReplyDeleteI do like it in black and white. That building certainly has that grand government look to it.
ReplyDeleteImposing and dramatic in black and white, Hal.
ReplyDeleteI like early morning photos ... they are different I think.
ReplyDeleteIt works for me! But why folk?
ReplyDeleteDem Deutschen Volke...
DeleteNot everybody speaks German!
DeleteYes, Hal, I know! But folk in your title is a different meaning altogether! :-)
DeleteImposing structure.
ReplyDeleteFrankly My Dear
It looks rather imposing, and almost haunting, in B&W!

ReplyDeleteIt looks great in B&W.
ReplyDeleteGreat in B&W!
ReplyDeleteAn impressive, grand building that almost looks like a temple.
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer it in colours, saw the yellow builing last year against the bright blue sky, fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white looks suitable for the subject.
ReplyDeleteI do like it in black and white. Those columns are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThe angle of your shot gives it drama and scale; the black and white reinforces it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI think B&W is very appropriate for this building.
ReplyDeleteSo great in b/w. I remember the days when the Reichstag was still empty and Rock Concerts were being held with the speakers turned to the East towards the wall which was located just behind.
ReplyDeleteThe B&W takes me right back to WWII...I remember the scenes as the Russians made their way through Berlin.
ReplyDeleteI do like that first shot a lot!
