#windowwednesday
View down the central funnel inside of the Reichstag dome on top of the Reichstag building, the seat of the German parliament (the Bundestag). The funnel is a so-called "light-diverting element" with mirrors that guides diffuse daylight into the plenary hall of the German Bundestag ten meters below and also serves as an exhaust "pipe" that deflects used air from the plenary hall through the 10-meter-wide central opening at the apex of the dome (which you can't see here).
For whatever reason the checked "pattern" of the reflective windows on the funnel's base (theoretically one could take a look into the plenary hall) always reminds me of a gambling table at a casino, hence the title which I've borrowed from one of the best James Bond movies (and I also like the 1967 parody). But of course, there's nothing "royale" or "gambling-ish" about this profoundly democratic place (which, as you know, it hasn't always been). Surrounding the funnel's base you can find the permanent exhibition "From the Reichstag to the Bundestag" which tells the eventful history of the Reichstag building from its beginnings to the present day.
Happy Window Wednesday, Everyone :)

The Constanța Casino (Romanian: Cazinoul din Constanța) is a casino in Constanța, Romania, located at 2 Elisabeta Boulevard along the Black Sea. Considered a symbol of the city, it was built in Art Nouveau style according to the plans of Daniel Renard and inaugurated in August 1910. The last major repairs took place in 1986-1988, and the building is currently closed.
La muchacha del balcón
La tarde bajaba por esa calle junto al puerto
Con paso lento, balanceándose, llena de olor,
Las viejas casas palidecen en tardes como ésta,
Nunca es mayor su harapienta melancolía
Ni andan más tristes de paredes,
En las profundas escaleras brillan fosforescencias como de mar,
ojos muertos tal vez que miran a la tarde como si recordaran,
eran las seis, una dulzura detenía a los desconocidos,
una dulzura como de labios de la tarde, carnal,
carnal,
los rostros se ponen suaves en tardes como ésta,
arden con una especie de niñez
contra la oscuridad, el vaho de los dancings.
Esa dulzura era como si cada uno recordara a una mujer
Sus muslos abrazados, la cabeza en su vientre,
El silencio de los desconocidos
Era un oleaje en medio de la calle
Con rodillas y rostros de ternura chocando
Contra el "New Inn", las puertas, los umbrales de color abandono.
Hasta que la muchacha se asomó al balcón
de pie sobre la tarde íntima como su cuarto con la cama deshecha
donde todos creyeron haberla amado alguna vez
antes de que viniera el olvido.
Juan Gelman

Tengo en una memoria varias imágenes del viaje con el Tren turistico del Renfe.. El Transcantábrico .
Este es un interior del Casino de Santander , que visitamos durante este viaje y que me pareció muy atractivo por cierto...
Nadat ik heerlijk gegeten had in een strandtent liep ik tijdens de zonsondergang terug naar mijn hotelkamer. Toen de zon in de zee verdwenen was draaide ik mijn hoofd van zee naar kust en zag het prachtig goud gekleurde casino.
After I had eaten deliciously in a beach bar I walked back to my hotel room during sunset. When the sun had disappeared in the sea I turned my head from sea to coast and saw the beautiful golden colored casino.
