The Rise and Fall of the Berlin Wall

Something about the Berlin Wall still fascinates me. The more years that trickle away, the m,ore fascinating its existence and the historical context surrounding its conceptions enthrall me. As the years pass, the event is likely to feel distant and more like 'history', but it is still so recent and still so amazing.

Check out these great pictures that document the less documented side of the rise of the wall.

I love Berlin! Where East met West.

East Berlin, May 2011.

A sight that would not have been seen a mere 22 years ago. Advertising  and the Western Capitalist world pasted on to the grey and uniform Socialist Architecture of East Berlin...love this City!
