Now THAT is an excellent picture! 

Such an interesting clash of different architectural eras, especially the postmodern "techy" style of architecture which can get a little nauseating after a while... 

Ha ha!!
Well that's Berlin for you...
all the buildings in the shot were built withing just a couple of years.

But yes it is has that effect of being in the middle of some burg with History - and pretty intentionally so. It is Potsdammer Platz. In pre-war Berlin it has been the Hub of the city life. It was completely obliterated during the war by British bombings and later soviet artillery and natzies blowing up buildings to hold Russian army advance. After the war this formerly buzzy square found itself in the border zone of West and East Berlin and stood for almost 50 years in the condition it was left in may 1945. There was idea to bring life back to the area. And this chaotic styling was suppose to fake "passage of time". This was only partially successful. There are still plenty of space left to be filled. and even what filled looks almost all the time pretty deserted. Berlin has been experiencing big difficulties after reunification. The combined population of East and West had actually declined several hundred of thousands (by some estimates by almost 25%). Still I think it was a nice attempt, that borrowed extensively in various architectural styles common in the city over past 50 years.

What a great collection of pictures! I'm not very good at photography so I'm in awe. I love the "White Sun of Finland" and how the tree branches frame the sun, and I like "Flow" because while it's a building made of rigid steel and glass, it has that flowing water feel to it.

Can't wait to see more!
