A good capture of an old structure that dominates the infamous wall of Germany (This is in Germany, am I right?) This watchtower have gun holes all around it too. I wonder if those glazings are bullet proof. You raised up my curiosity with this photo Itzhak!

I see that you passed quite some historically significant places on your Berlin visit, Itzik. This is a simple but quite good catch of the watchtower that stands out from the surroundings in its pale functional ugliness.

I did a WS - I know it's not highly original but it shows how I see this relic from the dark times when Germans were forced to shoot Germans.

Bonjour Yitzhak,
Peut-阾re que cette tour de surveillance est n閏essaire pour ceux qui n'ont pas connu cette s閜aration. Une sorte de m閙oire collective.
Sujet tr鑣 int閞essant et bien mis en valeur.
Amiti閟.
