Just in case you haven’t guessed: my last post shows me and my new baby (it seems my calling this lovely Canon EOS 300D “baby” in a previous post, caused some misunderstandings among some of my readers recently… LOL! Apologies!). It arrived last Tuesday, but although I did take quite a few shots with it already, I’m not happy enough with the results to show them off. Unfortunately I haven’t had any time to dive into the realms of real photography yet and therefore, I ventured little beyond the camera’s automatic functions… I really hope I’ll get some time for the basics on Sunday, though.
So for this week’s PhotoHunt I’ll offer you something from my archives… I took this photo while on Christmas holiday in Berlin 4 years ago: it shows the TV tower at Alexanderplatz (in what used to be East Berlin), is one of the largest – or longest 
– structures in Europe: its total length to the top of the spire is 365 meters (1197 ft). By the way, the sphere contains a revolving restaurant at 207m and a viewing platform at a height of 203m. But I’ve never made it to the top: I hate queueing!

nice pic!
I’ve seen that tower in a couple of pics, mostly clubber’s events (love parade I think)
I envy you – for the joy of owning a new camera. Hope you get to have time to learn to use it and hopefully enjoying the process of discovering new photography techniques.
I’m curious what camera you have been using. I’m sure you have mention it before.
This shot is perfect for photohunt. I don’t think I want to go up there either.
My’s not up until Saturday. Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
That’s a great photograph for the long theme. I love the perspective. Congratulations on your new baby. I know you’ll have a lot of fun with it. Have a great weekend.
Nice shot. The perspective make it look like it’s reaching to the sky. Have a great weekend
That’s kind of neat. And what a beautiful sky background. Wonder how their food is up at the top,..
…. probably pretty expensive too. Have a good weekend.
Actually this looks like our KL Tower in Malaysia too.. We also have the revolving restaurant.
Mine is up too.

excellent photo
Very nice photo!
I am not a fan of high places–but I always go up but won’t go near the windows. I am a paradox.
wow great photo, I would not like to go to the top of there too high!
Good long shot. Nice perspective.
Mine will be up at midnight EST.

Please come by and visit. It is of my favorite road photo.
Great photo for the theme!
that truly is an outstanding photo taken from a wonderful vantage point. good work!
I felt dizzy just by looking at that shot. that’s a long climb and one I will definitely not take since I’m afraid of heights.
That’s a great shot! I’d never heard of that place before. :)
My LONG picture is up too! :)
This must have an express elevator. Lol.
Great shot. And re leaving because of the queue – the same happened to us in Toronto, also at the tower.
wow! it is huge and verrryyy looong! great choice!
happy weekend! :)
Terrific shot! Your rant, a couple posts down, was spot on also :-)
Another great angle. It really makes it look very tall. Happy Weekend.
I’m very happy for you! Just go out and shoot for hrs trying things! I love exploring new cameras. Great photo!
And i would sure to have a loong neck just by looking up that tower :wink:
Have a great weekend, Sabine!
