Citizens keep an eye on government.

    In the Reichstag dome you can see down into the parliament chamber with the help of the mirrored central column. [Explored] [blogged] [blogged] [IMG_2434-reichstag]

      Stunning photo, what an incredible building. I like same people reflected in different ways in the column.

      That's a very interesting shot...there's so much happening with all of the reflections. I like hoe you can make out the spiral of the ramp. Nicely framed, too!

      I love this image...reminds me of Fritz Lang's Metropolis! Wonderful shot.

      Thanks for all the comments. The photo does indeed have some echoes of Metropolis as shown in the image below.

      What is ironic is that the Reichstag is constructed in the opposite way to the city in the movie. In Metropolis the elite leaders are in the lofty domes while the mass of the people labour below underground. In contrast, in the Reichstag the citizens are in the lofty dome looking down on their leaders who work below in the Parliament chamber.
