The old Congress Hall (built soon after the war); Berliners call it  affectionately "Pregnant Oyster"

 
 

 

Bundestag Building with "glass" dome which I described earlier

 

 
 

 

to the left a Barbar ad for the Konzerthaus; to the right, a wing of the French Dom of Berlin

 
 

Nationaltheater with Schiller Statue; between the Babar advertisement and at right angle and to the right: Franzoesischer Dom,  and Deutscher Dom to (our) left.
