Sunlit water reflecting clouds, Berlin, Germany

Sunlit water reflects clouds above as people sit along a riverbank beside modern glass buildings in Berlin.

The foreground shows a concrete ledge with white graffiti. Beyond it, dark water ripples with bright sun glints. A few people sit on a paved riverbank, shaded by young trees. Behind them, modern glass buildings rise against a partly cloudy sky. The horizon is level, and the light is dramatic.

In Berlin, summer midday light dances on the river’s surface, catching the attention of a few people relaxing on the bank beside sleek glass towers.
