You Capture: Water

The Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral) quietly sits on the banks of the Spree.  Like so much of Berlin it is an enigma.  A catholic-looking church of baroque style, built by protestant Kings, with state money, for an evangelical congregation.  It was supposed to be a counter-point to the Vatican's Basilica, but I think more likely, built to surpass with the magestic New Synagogue built by Berlin's Jewish community a few hundred metres up the Spree.  If you look closely you can still see bullet holes in the walls, memories of the battles waged at the closing of World War II.  

On a summer evening it's the perfect place to stop and gaze, chat and watch the sunset over the water.
