One of the most interesting parts of BUGA is the swimming meadow (BUGA = Bundesgartenschau; English: Ferderal Garden Exhibition). The turqoise area in front is made out of shard of glass. In the backround you might be able to see parts of the castle.

From Wikipedia:

The Bundesgartenschau (abbr. BUGA) is the biannual Federal horticulture show in Germany. It also covers topics like landscaping. Taking place in different cities, the location changes in a two-year cycle.
In 2009 the BUGA is arranged by Schwerin from April 23th to October 11th.

Schwerin Castle (German: Schweriner Schloss) is a castle located in the city of Schwerin, the capital of the Bundesland of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. For centuries it was the home of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg and later Mecklenburg-Schwerin. It currently serves as the seat of the state parliament.
