Visiting the Reichstag dome once is not enough for me as I liked to capture images at different time of the day especially night photography is one of my favourites. At the center of the base of the dome is an exhibit of photographs and information about the Reichstag’s history. One of the more interesting moments from the Reichstag’s history is when it was set fire just before WWII to fuel the paranoia which eventually lead to the Nazi control of Germany. I stood at the mid level of its spiral ramp and shot this photo not only to show the centre stem of the structure but also the backlight glowing information panels of its history with visitors beside them.
