After the reunification route U1 reached the former terminus Warchauer Straße again. For years line ended at the station on the bottom (Schlesisches Tor) while the Spree on this spot formed the boarder between West and East Berlin. The Oberbaumbrücke was a check point however not for foreigners.
While most Japanese and guide books will tell you there is nothing of interest in Toyama but industry, they are not completely correct. There's the Azumi Castle (Toyama Castle) and observation tower which make Toyama City a good place to spend an afternoon and the mountains in the Toyama countryside look like they'd be great for hiking in the warmer months.
This photo was taken from the observation tower and shows something I have seen in just about every Japanese city. The city spreads out until it hits a mountain range where all building stops. Due to earthquakes, the mountains are unstable places to build upon. It does make a nice natural break and a place for trees in what would otherwise be urban sprawl as far as the eye can see.
the recent history of Toyama City from the Official Toyama City web site (www7.city.toyama.toyama.jp/english/about_toyama.html)
After the Meiji Restoration, heavy and chemical industries developed in Toyama, based on abundant electricity which was generated in some hydro power stations in the mountains near-by. Although the streets of Toyama were devastated by an air raid in August 1945, Toyama has become one of the most influential cities on the Japan Sea side with its good water supply, drainage system and thriving agricultural, forestry, fishery, commercial and manufacturing industries.

The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in the United States in the state of Arizona. It is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.[1]
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet / 1,800 metres)[2] Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.
I stopped in at Saxby's Coffee Shop in Springboro today. The coffee shop was decorated with a really large collage of photos of local sites and landmarks. To my surprise, this photograph was included in the collage.
I almost never say no when someone asks to use one of my photos, but it really annoys me when someone uses one without asking. If you want to use one of my photos, please ask if it is okay first.
I looked out the plane window at the exact right time to see this sight. I love how it looks in B&W.

The haze is mainly man made; the hot season and all what’s burned and burning, something getting worse by the year. However, this is my backyard include all the minor effects or as the saying goes: one can’t have it all.
