IL MURO / THE WALL

White Fawn Lily, Erythronium oregonum
Growing quite happily in a field of many more along with headstones that mark the final resting place of people who'd been laid to rest long, long ago in a small, remote country churchyard on Victoria Island.
This photo reminds me to celebrate life, perhaps that's part of the attraction of a graveyard. It is where we may come to rest, it is where we honor those at rest and realise that to live is to be blessed, if only for a brief moment. It reminds me to grab life, to plant seeds of love, hope and dreams. And it's all the better to do it all with you, so that they will not wither, only grow.
For when I am with, I feel more alive than without. When i am with, there is more color and delight, there is more day, and night becomes a time to sleep and play. And no task or challenge seems too big, and inspiration knows your name, and when I call it, i am on my game.
PS - If any of this makes sense, please let me know.

Berlin, Bernauer Straße
Architects: Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff (1998)
In April 1994, the German federal government, represented by the German Historical Museum, held a competition for the design of a national monument for the victims of the Berlin Wall and the German division that was to be erected at the historical site on Bernauer Strasse.
In July 1995 the federal government, which hosted the competition, decided that the design proposal by Kohlhoff & Kohlhoff should be realized. This design called for the integration of the remaining evidence of the original border fortifications at Bernauer Strasse, and sought to reinforce and embellish them through artistic means.
The monument, two steel walls enclosing a preserved 70-meter long section of the original border fortifications was inaugurated in August, 1998.

George Orwell would have loved this sign. Freedom is Slavery. The wall is watching.

The other side of the underpass read " Voter Apathy ".........by the time they got to this side, they couldn't be bothered to spell it properly!!!

I love this guy's expression when he turns to see his buddy's daughter cleaning the wall with a stick that's bigger than her.
The respect and emotion that went along with clearing the wall of personal mementos, cleaning it and then returning the mementos back to their exact location was more than I had expected.
