Monument to the Battle of the Nations

Another shot from my small Germany tour last week. I had one afternoon in Leipzig and saw the first time the Monument to the Battle of the Nations ("Völkerschlachtendenkmal") in Leipzig (open first time 1913). Deeply impressive and pretty likely one of the oversized last battle monuments in Europe. If you zoom in , you get an idea of the size.

I was lucky to have a completely still water pool. So, if you ask. The reflection is totally real and no photoshop ;-)
