The buildings here look like spaceships

I love the architecture all over this place. Whenever I talk about it, the Germans are completely lost. They can’t understand how I can think that lots of glass and hard angles is stereotypically German building styling. Then they say, “Ohhh, you mean within the past couple decades!” Yeah, asshole, that’s what I mean, because my country doesn’t have architecture dating back much longer than that.

That’s a building at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin. I took the pic when I was visiting Cihan.

A much more recent pic. I took this one just the other day, while I was walking around waiting for my new glasses to be made. It’s the EU Patent Office in Munich. Kind of angers me that such a cool looking building could harbor an ideological horror like the modern patent system, but hey, I’m speaking from the perspective of a disgruntled American.

A much older pic, I think I took this one back near the beginning of October. That’s from Olympia Park, and pretty much all the buildings are that bizarre there.

Just the other night I went for a stroll in the rain and wound up there around midnight. I was stunned at how beautiful it was. The fog was so thick it was lying on top of the spires of the building picture, stretched out across the lake, rubbing its back upon the windowpanes, all that.

The structure above is lit up at night, with yellow and blue lights, and it looked just like a Protoss building.

I intend to go back soon with a camera and see what I can do. It’s been raining softly all week long, so it shouldn’t be difficult to get a picture of the cloak of fog and Close Encounters-ish buildings together.
