I couldn't help myself.... I hope to do this at Lenin's tomb as well...

This is how much I love you guys - I have a serious fear of heights, yet scaled the Berliner Dom to take some shots from above the Palast just for you!

Just back from a trip to Europe which included 2 days in Berlin. This is what the Palast der Republik looked like last week.

Here is a view of it in the distance from near the the Neue Wache on Unter der Linden:

It's almost all gone.

Wow! They've made a lot of progress since March!

I suppose in some respects, one can be content with the fact that it lasted almost 20 years after the collapse in Nov 89.

Change is inevitable. I am always on my Bi-annual visits, amazed at what has not changed or what has not been torn down.

Because I actually lived in Berlin - twice; for me it seems like it was only yesterday that I was standing out in front of it. Now it is hardly even a skeleton. And before much longer, it won't exist at all.

Kevin, hope your short 2 days were not a disappointment. I know when I revisit Berlin, it isn't just the former military aspect that holds my interest. I always found the whole city to be of interest - and particularly enjoy the different restaurants and cuisine.

Mike - I'd not been back to Berlin since 1991. The trip was primarily for the benifit of our daughter who was 4 when we left Berlin and had very few memories of it. So we took here to most of the main attractions in Berlin with the limited time we had. And I got my fill of good German food and beer along the way! Kevin

I'm in Berlin right now and I have to say that most of the Palast is gone.
