this is a long wall, a very painted wall...some art, some graffiti; but what is the difference? it's beautiful on BOTH sides.

berlin's parliament and an impressive building: it endured a fire, and the incorporation of modern elements, making it a landmark and a functioning work of art.

it's a site dedicated to the murdered jews in the holocaust. this is an erie place because you are standing on what appears to be solid ground, with these rectangular and trapezoid shapes all around you; but you are actually standing on the crest of a small hill, one of many that make up the topography of this memorial. it's also like an art installation. i thought it was like standing on the empire state building, or being surrounded by gravestones. each person has his own interpretation. i think the artist meant it to remain that way.

i understood this as the most important symbol of freedom when i was in berlin. i unexcusably didn't know much about the history of this landmark, and that is due to my laconic attention span in regards to history. it's one of the checkpoints (or entrances) between east and west berlin. it is heart wrenching, inspiring and it sets your priorities straight, if only for a couple of hours.
