#throwbackthursday from back when the #berlinwall was normal. The year is #1982 and this photo from an old photobox I found in a family stash in my basement. You may guess it, the photo was taken from the Western side of the border, and it really is kinda curious that back then there was practically no graffiti on it, despite the very central location (lol) at #BernauerStrasse.

Some images from my #wandering around #berlin today and yesterday.

I do love this city - its public gardens, the remains of the wall and the architecture. Such a wish mash of shapes and colour.

In 2019, approaching the 30th anniversary of the fall of the #BerlinWall, I found a timely book in a secondhand bookshop: The Berlin Wall, 13 August 1961 – 9 November 1989 by Frederick Taylor. 🎒

Two Visits to the Berlin Wall

The Berlin Wall by Frederick Taylor and Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman inspired me to write about my two visits to Berlin and the Wall.

Piece of the #BerlinWall in #Reykjavik, July 2024.

It is close to the Hofdi House, a meeting between Regan and Gorbachev took place here in 1986.

The Green Line: The Wall that Stands Between Two Warring Factions | Real Stories

"I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns shot above our heads (over our heads)
And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall)
And the shame was on the other side
Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day

We can be heroes

We can be heroes

We can be heroes
Just for one day"
