Alexanderplatz, a nice name to remember in German, especially when you don’t understand much German language. Alexanderplatz is a large square in Mitte Berlin district, or the Berlin city centre. It is also the hub for all Berlin public transport including S-Barn and U-Barn. I like the way Germans named their train network, with S-Barn being Surface train and U-Barn being Underground train network, which you can’t get confused with.
Alexanderplatz is a square located beside the train station with the same name and with the Berlin landmark of Telecommunication Tower at the other side of the station. There is a fountain in the middle of the square, Park Inn Hotel and departmental stores around. Many activities including nightlife are carried out in the area. It is also the centre for the local people to gather and work.
I took this photo with my D7000 and Tamron SP10-24mm UWA lens while I was in Berlin last summer. Although the scene was pretty much distorted due to my Ultra Wide Angle lens, I chose to leave it as it is without any PS correction action since I love the way the buildings slanting.

There are 3 colours that can best symbolize Switzerland, namely the red, green and white. Most travelers around the world are flocking to Switzerland for these 3 famous colours in all seasons. Why are these 3 colours so popular among travelers visiting Switzerland? Let’s see what these colours are actually meant for.
Red is the national colour of Switzerland. It can be seen everywhere in Swiss national flags, logos, public services such as transportation and utilities, and even the national soccer team shirts. However, for those travelers visiting Switzerland, the most famous trademark in red they are looking for are perhaps the red Victorinox Swiss Army knifes, or the official Swiss Railway Mondaine watches with red logo and seconds hand. Swiss are proud of their red colour trade mark, so do tourists. Vacationers are always looking for red’s for its quality and reliability assurance. The red SBB logo for instance, it means the Swiss national railway network with superb punctuality and extensive connectivity. I used them for all my connecting trains to travel around Switzerland on my Europe tour mkII trip last Summer and it was so convenient and hassle free.
At the centre of the red Switzerland flag, we can see a bold white cross. Appearing also on the Swiss Code of Arm, as well as the Swiss Army knifes, this white cross is as popular as the Swiss red. It symbolizes Switzerland’s breathtaking white Winter. During winter, most parts of the country are covered by the lovely white snow, make Winter an ideal season for tourists and ski lovers to flock in for their Winter and ski holidays in Switzerland.
Apart from the white snowy Winter, lush green landscapes are otherwise dominating most parts of Switzerland in other seasons. This green colour effect is in fact another main attraction for tourists visiting Switzerland, and this helps Switzerland to become one of the best environmental friendly nations in the developed world. Large areas of greenery and highlands have effortlessly provide the best air and water quality I have ever experienced in all countries that I visited so far.
All in all, any single colour of either solid red, white and green of Switzerland is popular enough for travelers around the world to fall for this beautiful European country. I have personally experienced the beautiful Green and the remarkable Red of the Swiss last Summer, and they made me want to go back there again for my next White Winter ski holiday. – Travel Feeder, your ultimate photo travel guide to Europe
