Brandenburger Tor

I hate tourists. This particular flock stayed there only as long as the light was good; they left as soon as the sky got too dark. Since I can't actually do anything to them, I expressed my frustration by cutting in half as many of them as I could in this shot.

[to be precise, I tried to maximise the following quantity: (number of tourists cut in half)*(size of each individual cut tourist in the frame)^alpha, ie, closer ones get more points and the degree to which size is desirable is measured by the exponent alpha]


other sizes: small medium original auto

Still a great shot just the same. (I like the formula.)

:-) In any event, beautiful color contrast between buildings and sky.
