Divided


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.

  1. 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

  5. It must have been horrible living under those conditions. It's all over now but sadly history has a habit of repeating it's self.

  21. What 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!
