My Christmas vacation in Germany
The Reichstag building is one of the most famous landmarks in Berlin, Germany.
The building is located in the historic center of Berlin near the Brandenburg Gate, Potsdamer Platz and Tiergarten.
Upon entering the dome one has the impression of being in a winter garden, whose effects of light and
transparency are exacerbated by the inverted cone that lies at its center and is completely covered by 360 mirrors inclined.
A mirrored cone in the center of the dome directs sunlight into the building, and so that visitors can see the working of the chamber. At night, however, there is a reverse process – thanks to the mirrors, the artificial light of the chamber is reflected externally, illuminating the dome.
A visit to the Reichstag (Parliament) Building was a treat for sure.

I'm very fortunate to have good friends like Simone and Andreas who love me like family. I felt privileged that they would share their home with me during the Christmas holidays.
