Very interesting subject this week … a split second story and we all have thousands of them, because every photo has a story to tell.
“You don’t take a photograph.
You ask, quietly, to borrow it”

So I have put my National Geographic hat on and I have chosen a photo of the “power bridge” (as I call it) in Berlin, Mierscheid Bridge. This bridge provide access between the two Parliament offices: the Marie-Elisabeth-Lueders-Haus and the Paul-Loebe-Haus cross the river Spree.
The bridges as two levels … lower level that is fully open is for you and me – and upper level is for officials and government members and it has a roof, which my photo is from. It was built in 2002.
Why not join the challenge or at least check out all the other FAB entries on the subject: Weekly Photo Challange: Split-Second Story

Interesting way to separate departments 🙂
Andy, because it connects to parliament buildings, they can’t have everyone using the the same level, which I understand for security, because the upper level is connected to the buildings – and still can you and I use the same bridge to come across the river.
That’s a pretty smart and efficient system then 🙂
Andy, the Germans are very smart and efficient in everything they do … that is why the are such a powerful nation today. *smile
Berlin, is one of my favorite cities in Europe.
Ah.. one day, I’ll get there one day! I want to explore all its history with every location 🙂
Andy, good for you!!! You will be a busy man when visiting Europe with all the history that every country has.
Welcome!!!!
Thank you thank you! lol 😀
Hmmm…..never heard of such a thing Viveka! Only in Berlin 🙂
I suppose it’s all for security reasons, but still they want everyone else to be able to use the bridge too. I think it’s a brilliant idea.
You’re a good story teller, Vivi 🙂 And I love Dietrich!
Thanks, Jo … I’m not so good as you!!! *smile
I love Dietrich too .. long time since I listen to her music, but for Berlin .. what is more suitable ???
Well that was quite interesting on split levels. You are brilliant. So you know. 😉
The Germans are very well organized *smile
Thank you so much for being a faithful member of my fan club. *laughter
Oh, most of all ‘thank you’ for Dietrich!!! I have quite a valuable collection of her records from her very very beginning! Actually not this – but I SO love it!!!! Must do some homework!!! Her and Zarah Leander [and if you follow and know one, you do the other 🙂 !] What a gift for a Sunday!!!!!!!
Zaraha Leander, that is a word for the passed – great person to use for my Swedish postcards. She had a fantasstic voice and both big Diva’s of the war.
Thanks for your lovely comment.
LOve the photo.. the German flag in full spread… that alone tells a split second story…
Thanks a million, the flag is like German … very powerful.
I like your take on that story, the German flag has so much to say!
Cheers
