Berlin II: Tempelhof

Berlin Templehof airport is an instant favorite. The main building supports a huge arching overhang that swallows planes whole. The architecture is monumental, imposing, and employed in the service of nazism would have done an admirable job. Later, for a while, it became the symbol of the cold war. Its days are numbered now — it sees few flights, and looks set to be decommissioned soon.THF.jpg
