While walking around Berlin's side streets I came across this lifepreserver on this small bridge. It was owned by the local fire department, designed for any passerbyer to throw into the canal if they see someone in distress in the water. I thought it was a pretty great idea. Then, I began to wonder how many people had to actually be rescued from this canal every year.
One piece of architecture that you can pretty well see where ever you are in Berlin is the radio tower. And, in occasion of the FIFA World Cup 2006 in Germany, it looks like a soccer ball or fussball. Berlin definitely had the World Cup fever, especially since it was going to be one of the main venues. A new stadium and train station had been built just in time for June 2006.
