This photo is a companion to a black and white that I shot with my Ikoflex from the park over to the left in this picture (if park is really the word). I like this shot not only because I like the building, but because there's that completely out-of-place double-decker bus on the street. Admittedly, they're only used for sightseeing in Berlin, but they're obviously more associated with Britain, not Germany.

The Berliner Dom (Dome) was built as a cathedral between 1895 and 1905 to replace an earlier cathedral constructed here in 1747, which in turn replaced a chapel constructed in 1465 for the Hohenzollem family. Heavily damaged in World War II, the current Berliner Dom is a simpler and less glamourous building than the original, although an extensive reconstruction was conducted during the period 1975-1993.
