Berlin - Modern Day

This was the neighborhood where we spent
one week in Berlin, a place
of contrasts.
Some sites are neglected.
Others, like the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz,
show development in full swing.

At the Potsdamer Platz underground station
Alexander Polzin's sculpture reminds
passersby of Giordano Bruno's ultimate sacrifice.
 Born in 1548 near Naples, Italy, 
Bruno was burned at the stake as a heretic on February 17, 1600.

A late afternoon rainbow graces Berlin's skyline.
