The Sony Center, a photo from Berlin, Est

Photographer's Note

The Sony Center is a Sony-sponsored building complex located at the Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, Germany. It opened in 2000.
The site was originally a bustling city centre in the early 20th century. After World War II, the area suffered a sharp decline and was eventually left abandoned. As part of a redevelopment effort for the area, the center was constructed. The centre was designed by Helmut Jahn and construction was completed in 2000 at a total cost of €750M. In February 2008 Sony sold Berlin's Sony Center for less than €600M to a group of German and US investment funds, including investment bank Morgan Stanley, Corpus Sireo and an affiliate of The John Buck Company
Sony Center contains a mix of shops, restaurants, a conference centre, hotel rooms, luxurious rented suites and condominiums, offices, art and film museums, cinemas, an IMAX theater, a small version of LEGO land, and a "Sony Style" store. Free Wi-Fi connections are available for all visitors. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the centre also had a large television screen on which the games were broadcast to viewers sitting in the large open area in the middle.
The Sony Center is located near the Berlin Potsdamer Platz railway station for easy walking accessibility. A large shopping centre is nearby, as is a myriad of hotels, the Deutsche Bahn central offices, and an office building featuring the fastest elevator in Europe.

dear Silvio,
the contrast between shining pink and ocean blue is impressive.
it is like the deep bottom of the ocean,
the water is dark blue and one big pink jellyfish is floating in the sea.
an illusionary view in Berlin, even people look coral tree.
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Pink has been beautifully captured at blue hour. Black and blue make really pink stand out. Very impressive shot!

Dear Silvio

Naturally I could have selected any of your nice pictures, but then I clicked this one as I have never been to Berlin. What attracted me the most where the architecture and the colors. Very interesting and well captured. Your color hues are splendid as also the sharpness and DOF are. Well done.

Friendly greetings from Malaysia
Urs
