The light of Berlin
Evening over the centre. Unter den Linden runs east from the Brandenburger Tor to the Schloss, with the Fernsehturm on the horizon.
This is not a picture of Berlin. It is Berlin, built on the real map: every street where OpenStreetMap draws it, every height from the survey, every lime tree where it grows, every shop under its own name. Walk it, buy a lot beside it, build on it.

Victoria in a chariot drawn by four horses, by Johann Gottfried Schadow. Napoleon took it to Paris in 1806; it came home in 1814. Today’s copper group was recreated from a plaster cast of 1942.
