The Wall | This is the other side, the less attractive if not less interesting side, of the East Side Gallery. The area between this section of the old Berlin Wall and the Spree River has become an eyesore and an environmental problem. (See the East Side Gallery Update) - Buy This Photo

Germany | An all-too-familiar sight in Berlin: construction cranes clutter the skyline. In anticipation of the move of the German government from Bonn to Berlin, the city's building boom seems to have turned the new capital into one huge construction site. - Also see a current livecam view of Berlin construction at this hour! - Buy This Photo

The Wall | Summer 1969. This young family pays its regular Sunday visit to a platform overlooking the Berlin Wall. Waving to grandparents on the eastern side, mother calls attention to the children (their daughter is almost hidden behind mom) whom the East German grandparents have only seen from a distance. It was illegal for East Germans to have these across-theWall visits or to wave to people on the other side, prohibitions that were often ignored. - Buy This Photo

The Wall This historic Berlin landmark has now vanished. Checkpoint Charlie on Friedrichstrasse was the Allied crossing point between what had been the American Sector and the Soviet Sector of the divided city. This shot was taken in 1969 during the author's first visit to Berlin. The last Checkpoint Charlie gatehouse (bigger than this 1969 version) is now in a museum. - Buy This Photo


The Wall | In the summer of 1969 a tourist bus begins the crossing from West Berlin to East Berlin at Checkpoint Charlie. - Buy This Photo

The Wall | Looking at this historical photo from 1969, it is difficult to imagine this barren no-man's-land was once Berlin's most busy intersection. Today the Potsdamer Platz is one of Berlin's biggest and busiest construction sites. - Also see the current livecam view of Potsdamer Platz. Catch a 180-degree view of the area as it looks right now! - Buy This Photo

The Wall | These white crosses bear the names of the victims of the Berlin Wall, some of them killed just months before the Wall came down. Until recently, this informal monument was located between where the Wall stood and the Reichstag parliament building, next to the Spree River. - Buy This Photo
