From that rooftop: a Boatride

Berlin in one frame: power, history, tourism, and everyday life all politely squeezing into the same picture. The Spree with the boat is the city’s moving audience, gliding past politics as if the government were just another attraction on the route. The Reichstag in the distance anchors the scene: solid, slightly solemn, but now almost used to being photographed more than feared.
