ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic award-winning amateur photographer based in the South-West of England with a real drive for creating a broad range of images.

I've been taking pictures for most of my adult life, but over the last 10 years or so I've started to consider myself a photographer in the artistic sense of the word.

The TV Tower on Alexanderplatz is Berlin's most prominent landmark and the tallest building in Germany. Its steel sphere contains an observation platform and a gourmet restaurant. The TV Tower is located on the territory of the former East Berlin. The GDR needed a facility that could broadcast nationwide - a large transmission tower was needed. At first, such a tower was to be built in the Müggelberge hills, but it turned out that the tower would pose too great a danger to the nearby Schönefeld Airport. Therefore, Socialist party leader Walter Ulbricht decided that the TV tower should be built at Alexanderplatz. In the same year, 1964, construction work began. After four years of construction, the TV tower was able to begin operations in October 1969.
