•  Info Potsdamer Platz in Berlin-Mitte with the following buildings (from left to right): Office building by Renzo Piano, Kollhoff-Tower (by Hans Kollhoff), Bahntower by Helmut Jahn, Beisheim Center (various architects). The photo was taken the same day as this one, but in the early morning light. Size, quality and light could make it better than just QI, I think. All by me -- Code (talk) 06:37, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Support Certainly an interesting photo. One can almost read the sign posts, meaning resolution seems to be quite ok. --Tremonist (talk) 13:58, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support maybe building on right edge could be cropped --Mile (talk) 14:53, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
•  Support Cropping the right would also crop the station in half. — Julian H.^✈ 15:25, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

•  Support I think we can have both this and the late-afternoon take as FPs ... they show the difference the light of different times of day can make to the same cityscape. I further imagine that future architectural historians will use these pictures when they retroactively identify a school of early 21st-century high-rise architecture they will dub "Shardism", accompanying them with text like "Architects reacted to a world that increasingly saw itself as fractured and fragile by designing buildings that reflected this perception ..."

  On a personal note, I am glad to see these pictures, for I remember that the neighborhood depicted, before the war the unquestioned heart of Berlin, was upon my first visit there in 1988 a large empty lot, inaccessible between the two barriers of the Berlin Wall.

• @Daniel Case: The building on the left was designed by the same architect as the shard, indeed. --Code (talk) 09:55, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
