I found this representation of how the Berlin Wall divided so many along the Bernauer Strasse memorial walkway. Something about it really touched me - maybe it's how this couple is together but still apart.
Some very important visitors (my parents) arrived in town yesterday! We are headed
to Dresden and Prague tomorrow - that should be a lot of fun and also means more photos for Halcyon Travels. When we get back, I'm looking forward to showing off all the places I've discovered via my blog. Hope you won't mind some duplicate photos.
You have to visit the Frauenkirche, I saw it when I was there being rebuilt, it's finished now & it's a place I would love to go. I see what you mean about the sculpture, it spit loved ones up
ReplyDeleteIndeed a kind of touching statue.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a very emotional looking sculpture.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say, perhaps you could to a photo of the Frauenkirche for me. It holds some special memories for me.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been horrible living under those conditions. It's all over now but sadly history has a habit of repeating it's self.
ReplyDeleteFabulous, is this pre-1989? I love Prague and have always wanted to visit Dresden (and Berlin again). Wish I was gig with you- have a great trip!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous that you are going to Prague. That's one city I really, REALLY would like to visit!

ReplyDeleteI feel tears coming on .. beautiful representation of the utter sadness of that sad chapter of history ...followed by joy that the wall is gone of course.

what a marvelously touching sculpture this is! enjoy touring with your parents.
ReplyDeleteVery touching sculpture. Wishing you a lot of fun with your parents!
ReplyDeleteWhat a moving testament to all the divided city and its people (the whole country!) went through during the war. I can just bet there were many many families who went through just this very thing! We should always remember, and sculptures like this are so important!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your evaluation of this fine work. Nice!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time with your parents.
