Fernsehturm

u5,u8,u2,s5,s7,s9,s75 at Alenanderplatz

This giant disco ball in the sky, was meant to be a government building as a symbol of Communist ideals. However it failed to make a powerful political statement as intended. There is an unpredicted ray of light reflected by the building and forms a cross shaped acroos the shiny stinless-steel dome, immediately earning it the title of 'the Pope's revenge'. Sorry but it is humorous.
