{"product_id":"rooftop-bundestag-building","title":"Reichstag Berlin at Night | Black and White Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white Berlin photography print shows an illuminated Reichstag corner tower and a German flag moving against the night sky. I offer the rooftop architectural photograph as wall art in a choice of print sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flag was moving just enough to become part of the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI made this image in 2013 from the roof terrace of Berlin's Reichstag Building, turning away from the more familiar views and concentrating instead on one of the building's historic corner towers. Illuminated against the night sky, the stone structure stands almost alone, with the German flag blurred slightly by the exposure above it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat movement is what first caught my attention. Everything else in the scene feels remarkably solid—the heavy masonry, the geometric paving underfoot and the bright glass structure cutting horizontally across the lower half of the frame. Then the flag breaks that stillness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack and white suited the scene immediately. Without colour, the photograph becomes a study of light, architecture and contrast. The old stone tower rises from the darker roofline while the modern glass surfaces below glow almost white. Farther away, contemporary Berlin appears only as a scattering of buildings and lights along the horizon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have photographed Berlin many times, and I am always interested in the way older architecture and modern design coexist within the city. From this rooftop viewpoint, that relationship became unusually clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor me, the photograph is not the grand exterior view normally associated with the Reichstag. It is something quieter and less expected—a nighttime architectural detail, a moving flag and a brief view across one of Berlin's most recognizable rooftops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2013 \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"10 × 10 inches (25.4 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606598660175,"sku":"","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 12 inches (30.5 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":40058209927247,"sku":"","price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"14 × 14 inches (35.6 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606566547535,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 16 inches (40.6 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40058209960015,"sku":"","price":59.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 18 inches (45.7 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67602006245455,"sku":null,"price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 20 inches (50.8 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40291828269135,"sku":"","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 28 inches (71.1 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":41185202700367,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Reichstag-Berlin-at-Night-Black-and-White-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792153228","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/rooftop-bundestag-building","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
