the wall

Look solemn in front of the wall. It’s strange, only now while uploading this photo have I thought ‘wow that’s the famous, horrible, historic Berlin wall’. I didn’t seem to get the significance of it at the time. We did a huge walking tour which was fantastic, this was part of it. The tour guide pointed out that it's funny that a wall that kept so many people trapped for so long now needs it's own fence to protect it.
