Der Schwimmer über Berlin

A few weeks ago, there was a picture of German film director Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, Paris Texas) in the newspaper. He lives around here, Torstrasse to be precise, which is a very busy street in Mitte. Poor old Wim is fed up with the loud traffic, so he has set up an action group to campaign against noise pollution on Torstrasse. A follow-up report recently said that Wenders has a penthouse with an eighteen-meter outdoor pool on the roof. Hmmmm. So I fired up Google Earth and scanned along Torstrasse....bugger me sideways with a fishfork!
