A shame that we must never forget. This is what remains of the wall and now a national monument

Forgetting comes hard for many Antonio. It takes generation upon generation. Sometimes it is never gone and shouldn't be. It is how we keep it from repeating itself. Excellent photo.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

Antonio - In 1968, I stood near the wall on the West Berlin side, while a guard described how he had escaped from the east some years earlier, and how life was for his mother who remained there. When I get to those 35mm slides in my digitizing process, I'll post some of the wall and no-mans land, or the garden wall that was incorporated into the wall with shards of glass cemented to the top. The day in East Berlin, and the one spent at Dachau were two that are etched in my memory. You are correct - these cannot be forgotten. In you photo, the gray sky is very appropriate. A nice posting.

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. - James Dent
A very sobering image Antonio and you are right that it must never be forgotten.

"If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it." W.C. Fields. So, keep trying to see My Gallery.
Wow, what a reminder to me. I was very young when I was living in Berlin for a year with my Mom and Grandparents. But this photo is still a memory no one will forget. My Mom used to go up to the wall and just see her dear friend. Could not talk to her. Just see her. Altho she was allowed to write. Years later her friend was freed and moved to America. A well taken photo here. Thank you. Verena

Minds are like parachutes, they function only when open.
I was in Germany before the wall came down and I allways dreamed of what it would be like for Germany if the wall came down. I watched on tv as it came down a year or so later and wept tears of joy for these people. Great shot and I hope we never forget.

I agree with Thad the gray gives just the idea of a narrative and also the sufferances of the innocents.

I agree we must never forget. So many lives ripped apart by the simple act of putting up a wall. May we remember in our own lives as we deal with others to not put up fences of hurt and judgment. A very good photo and a wonderful reminder Antonio.

Great perspective image. A what a grim subject. Amazing to think that 20 years ago the dratted thing came down.

Great capture Antonio. Our great friend from here in our city was there when the wall fell.
