Berlin Torstrasse 2018. A 'Henge Effect' one evening in March, where the setting sun shone directly down the street, creating the long shadows. Torstrasse is so named because it runs along the line of a previous Berlin Wall, the customs wall around the city in the 18th century. There were many gates in it, hence the name, Tor meaning Gate.
