Alt Tegel

When T. and I were hopelessly wandering around the park containing Schloss Tegel (also known as the Humboldtschloss) yesterday, we saw a fine yellow mansion rising through the trees on the other side of the bay. This mansion is the Villa Borsig, and it turns out that it is presently the property of the German Auswärtiges Amt (foreign office), which intends to use it as a lodging for its guests. It's interesting to see in this photo that only one end of it is yellow, but at least the yellowness of that end is surprisingly tasteful.
