I was 11 years old when the great wall dividing East and West Germany came crashing down. I didn't truly understand what was happening, but I knew it was a historic event. I had the opportunity to visit Germany for a study abroad program a few years ago, and the difference in the 2 regions is still very visible.

This photo is a snippet of the 10 panels of the Berlin Wall currently on display in front of the Variety Building, where I work. It is in commemeration of the 20th anniversary of the Berlin Wall's fall. I must have Germany on my mind after posting yesterday's "photo-of-the-day".
