Reichstag Dome photographs.

View from the top of the Reichstag building in the city of Berlin, German. On the top of the Reichstag there is a large glass dome structure that provides a panoramic view of the city of Berlin. The structure is partially visible on the right hand side of this picture.

 Picture of a dome structure (which is also known as a "cupola") on top of the Reichstag building in Berlin.

 View from inside of a dome that is on top of the Reichstag building in the city of Berlin.

 In the center of this dome is a mirror structure.

A walkway takes visitors up to the top of the dome.


 You can see the walkway that winds it way up the side of the dome.


The top of the dome actually had an open entrance to the sky, if I remember correctly. Rain or snow is collected and then funneled into the structure to be recycled by the building. 


Some tourists enjoying the panoramic views of Berlin.

Tourists up on the observation deck at the top.


Brandenburg Gate at night

View of the Brandenburg Gate at during. Picture taken during my 2014 trip to Germany. I've long been interested in this gate, and I am a big fan of Ronald Reagan's famous speech. I was happy to have visited it. Interesting neighborhood.
