Railroad Bridge Hug

I love bridges, and Berlin has quite a few beautiful and historic bridges to fall in love with. But while in many cases, the best view is from the bridge looking out, in the case of the railroad bridge at the Friedrichstraße S-Bahn station in Mitte the best view is looking within. That is to say, when you exit the train station going north to cross the Spree River, the pedestrian walkway is actually part of the support structure of the bridge. Between the roosting pigeons, homeless squatters, urban commuters and general debris, this walkway is startlingly filthy. But despite all of that, when I descend through the guts of this bridge, I still think it is one of the coolest sights in the city.
