November 9, 1989 the end of the Berlin wall.
Twenty years ago....
It was Berlin wall....
Was summer of 1990,
I spent my holidays around Europe, and one day I was in front of that which up to nine months before it was considered a "monster" ...
This evening, seeing the images from Berlin, on TV, I went to look for my old box of slides, I projected on the wall of my livingroom, and photographed .... seemed right to commemorate an event that changed modern history ....

august 1990, close to what remained of the Berlin Wall ...

    I am glad that you have brought out these images. It is hard to believe it has been 20 years. There are still many walls in our society that need to come down.
