growing up in berlin, i never got to see this bridge. it was right at the border to east berlin and part of the forbidden city parts close to the wall. these days, this is one of the busiest places in town, and it's great to see the bridge, and how city life has reclaimed this area.

The fence between the USA and Mexico along the Pacific Ocean just south of San Diego.
This was my first version of a Border Pass concept I had last year. It was originally constructed for the CCCV ('07) but was 'finished' a day late for entry. Since I have not posted a Castle MOC for some time, and I have not had time to 'really' be active, I figured I'd post this and see what y'all think?
Please note that, while basically done, this MOC was never polished off, and is missing some details I hoped to add at some point. I now have plans for a beter version, hopefully to be shown at BrickFest!!!
In 1938 Czechoslovakia mobilized against the German threats of war, but hat to give in to the Munich Agreement and withdraw from the border fortifications, even if the army was fully capable to stand against the Wehrmacht. After this not only Germany, but also Poland and Hungary ripped pieces of land from the country, and there were also extensive fights with insurgents, which cost lives of many Czechoslovak soldiers and gendarmes. Today it´s a tradition to reenact how the situation could be, when we would have defended ourselfs. It´s a fact that Hitler was affraid of the Czechoslovak military, which at that time had better tanks, more heavy guns, and a very effective fortification system. Of course we win in the reenactments :-)

This is a low maintenance border which lines a fence for a Toronto home. The design is low maintenance and looks lovely year round.

In the late 90s, a secondary pedestrian barrier was added to San Diego’s Border Infrastructure System to increase the U.S. Border Patrol’s ability to impede and deny illegal cross-border activity. In recent years, the wide availability of battery-powered hand tools have rendered the design used for this barrier vulnerable to quick breaching. DHS’s FY 2018 Enacted Appropriations provided funding to replace 14 miles of this legacy secondary pedestrian barrier with steel bollard wall.
