Ups and Downs by Thomas Ahci
The staircase in the historic Ephraim Palais in Berlin. Originally built as a magnificent Rococo-style townhouse, it now serves as a city museum and chronicles the Ups and Downs of Berlin’s history. The photo was taken from the top floor during my last visit to the building in November 2025.
