BERLIN

Here are some pictures of a piece of The Berlin Wall. It was brought to Cincinnati, Ohio for a permanent monument celebrating 'Freedom without Walls' The dedication will be held on Sat., 7/3/10 from 5:30pm to 9:30 pm. I hope to get some video footage.

This slideshow is in honor of the Fall of the Berlin Wall 20th Anniversary. I lived several years in Berlin, Germany. These pictures were taken in 1988. I was a young photographer at the time using an old point-and-shoot. Forgive the quality.

The landscaping was not yet complete, but Cincinnati's Berlin Wall Monument was standing tall as an historic symbol of freedom. It's Eastern(non free) side faced the Ohio River, a landmark with a few freedom issues of its own.

A piece of the Berlin Wall that was bought to New York after it's fall.

Berlin in Christmas! the city knows how to embrace the christmas' spirit.

Photographer Justyna Wiejkuc, from Poland, attended and took these fabulous images of TDWP for me on February 2, 2011 during the performance. More band photos can be seen here: http://madebydropdead.blogspot.com/

The highs and lows of a city full of history and enchantment.

Munich's Wies'n, or Oktoberfest, is full of beer, bratwurst and dirndls as well as lots of history and a good dose of culture.
