 Fenway Park is the home Baseball Park of the Boston Redsox, opened in 1912. Fenway is the oldest sports venue used by a professional sports teams in the United States,because of its age and its coinstrained location in the dense Fenway- Kenmore neighbourhood  the ballpark has many unique features in filming !! "The Triangle" , "Pesky's Pole" ,and the infamous "Green Monster".Fenway is also a very small ballpark whhich tends to  favour Batters over Pitchers .Home runs often sail right over the ballpark into the local streets.

 I must say that I enjoyed my stay in Berlin visiting a friend on my "Around the World" by train journey..and was just so nice to be able to visit many venues i the City with the help of my friend as there is nothing like "local knowledge " when visiting a strange city. So much history and great sites to visit..of course the Reichstag.  theBrandenburg Tor , The olympic Statdium for the 1938 Olymics. of course The Berlin Wall and many others to mention.. Thank you Birgitte for making this possible.

The Brandenburger  Gate. Berlin .:
  This The Brandeburger Tor is a neo classical monument in Berlin built on the orders of The Prussian King  Frederick William II  after the temporary restoration of order after the Batavian revolution. This is one of the best know landmarks in Germany and was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the  road from Berlin to Brandenburg an der Havel which used to be the Capital of the Margriviate of Brandenburg.,  and is located in the western part of  the city centre of Berlin at the junction of " Unter den Linden and  Ebertstrasse immediately west of  The Pariser Platz. and one block North stands the Reichstag Building  which houses the German Parliarment ( The Bundestag ).
    The Gate is the Monumental entry int Unter den Linden ..a boulevarde of "Linden" trees  that led diectly to the Royal City Palace of The Prussian Monarchs.
  The Brandenburg Gate was privately refurbished on the 21st December 2000 at a cost of six million Euros and was the main venue for the  20th Anniversary celebrations of the fall of the Berlin Wall or "The Festival of Freedom" on the evening of the  9th of  November 2009.

Arlington:  TEXAS.:  USA.:
 Thank you Arnold for this swap.. I particularly like to collect these cards of the various Baseball stadiums and am getting a good collection now.. This is of The Texas Rangers baseball stadium in Arlington Texas.. This is also another of the many baseball stadiums that I visited on my many travels in the USA. Although my favourite team are The Washington Nationals  The  "NATS" I do have a soft spot for the Rangers and always like to see them play.
     This,  like many of the baseball stadiums in the USA is magnificent venue. This particular baseball park was opened on April 1st 1994 and this beautiful baseball only facility serves as a centre-peice for a 270 acre complex which solidifies Arlington's staure as an entertainment giant in the south west and is known as Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
