The Wall

It's A. again. I just realized that we actually do have pictures of us seeing the wall for the first time at Potzdamer Platz, I just overlooked them. Here's the line of wall pieces used for a temporary museum exhibit, lined up exactly where the wall border was:


And here I am, gazing up at a piece that has been set apart from the others. You can see that the wall has been placed exactly along its border. The border between East and West is marked by the line cutting through the cement toward camera, and off in the distance [it is cobblestone through the street, then runs further into the background]. That wall stretches over all of Berlin, cutting through any street, passage, or even building that has been built over this border; a constant reminder of the division. I am currently standing on the West looking East.
