A tall narrow office tower slab at the sector boundary in Berlin at dusk on a cold October evening, seen from the east across a broad strip of raked sand under border lamps, in the foreground a grey wall of concrete slabs topped with strands of barbed wire on angled posts, the tower rising nineteen storeys behind it, its curtain facade of golden anodised aluminium panels in a fine vertical grid catching the last orange light, its narrow ends windowless and gently curved inward, every surface plain and unmarked, along the roof edge a narrow band of soft blurred amber light dots, low dark buildings around its foot, a deep blue sky.
