Light on water

Berlin has experienced a week of heat, sun, and very still air, which creates interesting mirror effects in the river Spree. The first photo is of a notable building called "Lessinghaus", which appears to have survived the bombing of the second world war with relatively little damage.

The second picture shows the Lessing Bridge, with a re-purposed old industrial park that now includes the Abion hotel and the Ministerium des Innens (just behind the hotel).

The last picture has an abstract quality. It was taken further down the river in the direction of the Reichstag and shows trees shimmering in the water.
