The End of the Day

2007.10.14
October 2007 - my personal view:)

1806 - Napoleon entering Berlin

1871 - Ceremony

1945 - Reconstruction

1982 - During the cold war - Eastern vs. Western Germany

1989 - The Fall of the Berlin Wall

Brandenburger Tor in Berlin - a place with so much history and meanings for the German people. From the Nazist swastikas to the fall of the Wall it was the central place where history was written..which makes it an amazing place to visit.

JuliaGotz showing this in a series over time is fascinating, and it gives a foundation for your own photograph. are you looking against an early morning sky or an evening sky? I love the light.

dweiskir I visited the Brandenburger Tor in December of 1987. I was 18 years old, and I had never seen a look of defeat in people's eyes like I did in the people of the DDR.

Beautiful set which gives a great view of history.

davids Good idea and very well presented - I didn't get to visit Berlin until 1999 by which time most of the site of the Berlin wall was being built upon. Fascinating place.
