Beyond this futuristic-looking hotel lobby ceiling and transparent roof, you can see the building's frontage.
The station, designed in Soviet style and originally named Moskevská, was opened in November 1985 as part of the inaugural section of Line B. The station was renamed to Anděl, after the nearby neighborhood.
Walls tidied up in PS… unfortunately, the real station is covered with tons of poor quality graffiti.

Qualche volta mi è capitato di viaggiare di note su un aereo, sorvolando zone buie del pianeta. Con le luci spente, guardando fuori dal finestrino, potevo guardare le stelle e immaginare, per un momento, di trovarmi non tanto legato ad un piccolo pianeta, ma di fare un salto nella galassia, a bordo di una astronave di fantasia.
Nella foto, le stelle invernali da Orione al Cane Maggiore si snodano sopra le luci di una città dell'Arabia Saudita.

The future is late.
The other day I was reading a comic book from the early sixties. The story takes place in the "future" of 1979. The world was full of spaceships, supersonic trains and people with anti-gravity suits. In 1979.
There are many, many sci-fi novels and movies with an excess of enthusiasm in predicting the future. We had been expecting it for a long time, but it seems that not only now, the future has been always delayed.
Humanity longs for the past, but the future just doesn't see us with good eyes, doesn't like us. Although last night, after watching the news, I understand that the future is not in a hurry.
Let's dream then.

Yesterday I did get the opportunity to visit the roof of the "Delftse Poort". A large building in Rotterdam. This is the new central station seen from above. It was very cool!!
Slowly, the spaceship hangar opens. The rusty hinges screech. Fortunately, no one hears this in the vacuum of infinite space.
Langsam öffnet sich der Raumschiffhangar. Die rostigen Scharniere kreischen. Zum Glück hört das niemand im Vakuum der unendlichen Weiten.
Immagina...
una notte stellata in montagna. Silenzio. Non c'è un alito di vento. Ti siedi sul bordo di un laghetto, su un sasso. I piedi sfiorano l'acqua, perfettamente immobile.
Hai stelle sopra di te, e stelle riflesse tutt'attorno. Non ci sono più confini.
Quello specchio perfetto, ricolmo di stelle, ti proietta nel mezzo del cosmo. La Terra, un'astronave.
Soltanto all'orizzonte la forma debolmente illuminata del rifugio ti ricorda che sei sul pianeta Terra.
Sta a te pensare se stai partendo per il tuo viaggio, o se sei appena arrivato dalle stelle.
Questa è una delle foto più belle del mio recente weekend in Cadore. Rifugio Palmieri, Croda da Lago. E un mucchio di stelle..

ENG: The underground station Altstadt Spandau is a station of the Berlin underground line U7 at the westernmost tip. It was opened on 1 October 1984 as part of the northwest extension of the U7 to Spandau. It is located under the old town of the same name in the Spandau district parallel to the street Am Juliusturm.
Like many underground stations at that time, the station was designed very elaborately and splendidly by Rainer G. Rümmler. In March 2017 it was announced that the underground station - together with six other stations of the northern U7 - would be placed under a preservation order.
It lies at a depth of 14 metres, as the nearby Havel had to be crossed under in the east. Therefore, the caisson construction method was used for the construction of this station. In the direction of Spandau town hall, the shield driving method, which is rare and expensive in Berlin, was used to preserve the historically valuable building fabric in Spandau's old town.
GER: Der U-Bahnhof Altstadt Spandau ist eine Station der Berliner U-Bahn-Linie U7 am westlichsten Zipfel. Er wurde im Zuge der Nordwest-Verlängerung der U7 nach Spandau am 1. Oktober 1984 eröffnet. Er liegt unter der gleichnamigen Altstadt im Ortsteil Spandau parallel zur Straße Am Juliusturm.
Der Bahnhof wurde, wie viele U-Bahnhöfe zu dieser Zeit, sehr aufwendig und prunkvoll von Rainer G. Rümmler gestaltet. Im März 2017 wurde bekanntgegeben, den U-Bahnhof – zusammen mit sechs weiteren der nördlichen U7 – unter Denkmalschutz zu stellen.
Er liegt in einer Tiefe von 14 Metern, da im Osten die nahegelegene Havel unterquert werden musste. Deshalb wurde für die Errichtung dieses Bahnhofs die Senkkasten-Bauweise genutzt. In Richtung Rathaus Spandau wurde die in Berlin seltene und kostspielige Schildvortrieb-Methode angewendet, um die historisch wertvolle Bausubstanz in Spandaus Altstadt zu erhalten.
