Berlin Day 2

Today I went on a short walk over to the Tiergarten and around but not in the Berlin Zoo. It's a little weird because you can see into the zoo from Tiergarten, so it feels like you're stealing free peeks.


Can't figure out if this is a vending machine which dispenses dogs or if it is made so dogs can use it. The text says something about not being an ass and to not let your dog shit all over the place (literal translation, of course).


The natural composition of most of Tiergarten puts it at stark contrast against Retiro Park (see Madrid day 1) and the Louvre Garden (see Paris pics part 1). Also this park has a homeless guy sleeping in it, just left of frame.


That said, there are still little statues and surprises seemingly randomly tucked away inside Tiergarten. The only way to find all of the statues hidden in here would be to walk up and down all the paths in Tiergarten.


Just left of center in Tiergarten, 2 major roads intersect at a traffic circle with this, the victory tower in the center. Pictured here is the first of what would turn out to be a small army of policemen speeding into the circle to stop traffic for a VIP motorcade.


I don't know what victory was being celebrated when they built the victory tower, but they must have been pretty happy at the time. Tried to go for an upskirt shot on the statue lady, but the angle just wasn't there. So basically I climbed the victory tower for nothing.
