Berlin, old and new - a photo on Flickriver

            Left: the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church (or Gedächtniskirche) is a war memorial and one of Berlin's most famous landmarks. Following allied bombing during WWII, the original west Tower has remained standing as a ruin and is hauntingly named the "hollow tooth" as it is literally an empty husk.
Right: 
The modern church consists of an octagonal structure and a six-sided bell tower. Its peculiarity is blue shimmering light, which was achieved by leaving an inner cavity of 2 meters between the inner and outer walls with lamps which give-off a blue hue to the inside and outside of the structure. Over 20,000 panels of stained glass make up the walls of the modern Church, consecrated on May 25, 1962 - the same day as the new Coventry Cathedral in the UK, also a victim of WWII bombs.
