Very harsh environment, very hard work and lots of stories. This is the clock tower, which was used to call anything from start and end of the various shifts, breaks, fires etc. In the back ground the iconic church, which has just been restored. Well worth a visit.

Love the foreground contrast with the fog-enshrouded church.

(Oh, by the way, the owner has restored the gas pump since I took this shot in 2008.)

I'm re-upping my two pictures, the previous post got garbled. Surprisingly high density of people from my town on CR, I never thought until looking at this thread!
So greetings from the city that doesn't manage to finish building an airport, but sinks it's whole budget into the attempt. The Berlin megalomania is a common disease that affects local politicians since decades. If you're the capital, you have to be important - being broke only qualifies as a minor distraction from building the next Pyramids :-\
Ah, yes indeed, the Arc ... Nice one ... It just reminded me that i have one of my most awaited sunset from there : only 2 opportunities of 2-3 days per year (May / August) with the sun setting just under the Arc de Triomphe ... you have to get lucky with the weather, and more than 2 hours wait to get a decent spot in the middle of the Concorde square among hundreds of photographers !ChristopherMarkPerez said:Since someone already posted the most famous city icon, this will have to do. You get a Two Fer with this one. A 2CV _and_ l'avenue des Champs-Élysées.
