Duck Pond Revisited
Explored August 19, 2023
Sunny view of the Ententeich (duck pond) at the Rudolph-Wilde-Park in Berlin's Schöneberg district. To the left, you can see the tower of Rathaus Schöneberg which, during the time of the Berlin Wall, was West Berlin's main town hall. John F. Kennedy spoke to the West Berliners from the balcony of Rathaus Schöneberg when he visited the city in June 1963.
I should admit that I cheated with the Flag of Berlin which is only set on special occasions and when we were at the park in May '23 for a leisure stroll it had just been another ordinary day – no flag. And because the tower looks nicer with the flag I flipped through my Rathaus Schöneberg folder and "borrowed" the flag from an older photo.
HSS, Everyone!
