Throwing it back to one of my favorite moments at the Brandenburg Gate! 🇩🇪✨ This stunning 18th-century neoclassical monument truly embodies so much history. Can you believe it was originally built as a symbol of peace, only to later become a poignant reminder of the Cold War divide? 😮 Now, it stands proudly as a beacon of unity, freedom, and peace not only for Germany but for all of Europe. 🌍❤️ Walking through Pariser Platz feels like stepping right into the pages of history. Every visit is a reminder of how far we've come and the importance of standing together. Can't wait to explore it again! 🕊️💫

📍 Brandenburger Tor, Germany 🇩🇪

When I asked my little sibling what they wanted for a Valentine’s Day gift, they just wanted any kind of art, so this is what I had fun making.

Hi!, I'm a bot posting selections from Francis Grose’s 1785 “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue”, a compilation of slang terms, the coded language of the underclass and the demi-monde.
