Following Germany's surrender and the end of the war, the governments of East Berlin and West Berlin restored it in a joint effort. The holes were patched, but were visible for many years following the war.
Vehicles and pedestrians could travel freely through the gate, located in East Berlin, until the Berlin Wall was built, 13 August 1961. Brandenburg Gate border crossing was later closed on 14 August 1961. West Berliners gathered on the western side of the gate to demonstrate against the Berlin Wall, among them West Berlin's governing Mayor Willy Brandt, who had spontaneously returned from a federal election campaigning tour in West Germany earlier on the same day. It was closed throughout the Berlin Wall period until 22 December 1989.

Around the beginning of the Great Depression in late 1920, an apple company decided to sell apples to people on credit, who in turn sold the apples. Five cent apple sellers could be found throughout street corners in New York.
The apple selling scheme had several benefits: It helped the apple industry move surplus produce that might never get purchased otherwise, and it helped men earn some money. But more than that, it gave men a small sense of pride. By selling apples instead of begging, the unemployed men still seemed to be in charge of their own destinies. Photographs of men selling the apples remain one of the most well-known symbols of the Depression today.

we celebrate and mourn when we are born
we laugh and love like morning doves
why then do we have history it is such a mystery
we are islands alone and many times without a home
some have food some have not
some have pain and cry a lot
why then do we have history it is such a mystery
we do the same over and over again.
we hunger and thirst
we wait for the hurst
and in the end here we go again.
so then why do we have history it is such a mystery
we make a celebration about liberty and freedom
and we murder again with no real reason
i love my wife i love my life
so then why do we have history it is such a mystery
governments come and governments go
some hit high and some hit low
movie stars act and that's just that
no real living proof that it's real and it's no big deal.
we act the same then it goes down the drain
just ask the bugs the rats and sometimes even the cats
so life keeps spinning and no one is winning
so then why do we have history it is such a mystery.
Pondicherry has a fascinaitng history. It was the only French colony in India until 1954. There is still signs of the old French Quarter which I found intriguing. For what ever reasons, I have found myself living by French Quarters during my life.
It began when I served in Vietnam and saw the beautiful buildings that the French left behind. Then I had the pleasure of living in New Orlean's French Quarter for a while. I love the touch of elegance that they left in Asian countries which were already so very charming. I also love old decaying buildings which have many stories to tell. Thus, I felt compelled to take a picture of this old building on a rue in Pondicherry.
I caught this photographer with Lincoln from across the pond. I thought the juxtaposition was interesting, the creator of history and the one watching history. The two alone seemed interesting. Its only possible to get an image like this if you are up very early or very late. In this case, it was very early, just about day-break.
Standing here at this beautiful spot, looking up at this old ruin castle.Knowing that unfortunately it doesn’t have much time left for future generations. in the moment made we wonder how many life events has witnessed. From families that built and lived in it,sickness and happiness. How many beautiful summers has it seen and horrendous and powerful storms has it seen too. Unfortunately due to erosion it may not see many more. I hope mine and other photographers have done your majestic beauty proud in the photos we have taken of you.

One of the newest attractions in Malaysia is this show in Melaka, It's part of China's spectacular Impression series and the first one outside China. Of course, the one here focuses on the people, culture and history of Melaka/Malacca and Malaysia. The whole area of the audience-seating actually rotates 360 degrees, so it is quite a viewing experience.
Do forgive my handphone photography here, it's not sharp in such lighting conditions and the screen and stage (or was it the seating area?) was rotating when I took this :-)
I noticed today it is nine months since I posted a picture of my favourite boat. How time flies. This was from may 2019 when I spent a few days in the Scottish Highlands.
Last May (2019) I spent some time in the Scottish Highlands which meant I had to go and see my favourite boat; the MV Dayspring.
Here she is shot in sunny weather with Ben Nevis in the background. She has been in this position since she foundered during a bad storm on December 8th 2011 on the shore near Corpach in the Scottish Highlands. The tide has never been high enough since to re-float the boat so she remains here stuck on land rotting away. She is still privately owned.
You all know how I love to photograph this boat. It is a sad but beautiful sight to me. I have become very attached to this boat. To me it has become part of the landscape here.
Here is some of her history
