Here, from a different angle, it's possible to see Zizkov and the Zizkovska televizni vez, or Zizkov Television Tower, the tallest structure in Prague.

Berlin Television Tower, Berlin, Germany, 2007

This very-tall Television tower is the tallest structure in Berlin, at 368 meters. Built in 1965-1966 by the government of the Deutche Democratische Republik (DDR, or simply East Germany), it was used by the East German government as a symbol of Berlin, and since the fall of the Berlin wall it has not only continued transmissions, but been expanded, with three meters being added to the heigh of the antenna. The large ball that you see towards the top is an observation deck and restaurant. Notice the tram at street level. :-) Berlin does indeed have both an extensive tram system and metro system, both of which have been expanded many times, although the original systems predate World War II.

I attempted a number of shots from the Berlin Television Tower, but regrettably this was one of the only ones that came out because the windows were very dirty that day. I can't tell if this train was an Intercity or a Eurocity, but it would be one or the other, as that's DB Intercity equipment, which is also used on the Eurocities.
