East Side Gallery

A series of murals along the longest remaining stretch of the Berlin Wall, commissioned shortly after the Wall fell. The first extra shows a little girl fitting her hand into one mural’s handprints, which to me has something to do with how after 1989 you could touch the Wall, whereas before you could not — not, at least, from the east side.

(Bengt recently did some blipping along this same stretch of the Wall: you can see the results in his April 12th journal. I would link to it, but that appears to be beyond my technical capacities.)
