Palast der Republik, Summer 1977 - a photo on Flickriver

Palast der Republik, Summer 1977

In full bloom, a year after its opening. For the background of this series you find comments here. - I have two pictures of the same subject, I decided to upload this almost humanless version first, the second is here.

It is interesting that these enormous columns holding reflectors on public places were usual equipments over East-Europe. The Hungarian equivalents had been erected the same way: on the centre of the car parking section of once Engels (now Erzsébet again) Square, Budapest.
