Just another Day at the Beehive
Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5 F/2
On the rooftop terrace of the Reichstag building with the Reichstag dome - which has always reminded me of a beehive - at the center. The new Reichstag dome, designed by Norman Foster in 1993 (with the inclusion of a design by Gottfried Böhm: the spiraling staircase that allows visitors to climb up to the - open - top of the cupola), is one of Berlin's best-known landmarks and is visited by more than two million people each year. The dome was designed environmentally-friendly, with a cone at the center that directs sunlight into the debating hall of the Bundestag, the German Parliament, on the groundfloor; vistors can also see the debating chamber from the dome. I will write some more about the dome's design and also the eventful history of the Reichstag building for my next upload which, consequently, will be an image taken inside of the dome. So stay tuned, dear Flickr friends.
