Hi friends, this is my 3rd here and the last....

I thought it must be something special, and when I did the other frames I found this here, too. It is a very strange frame - a part of the BERLIN WALL, and behind the wall stands a great colorful tourist bus and waits for a traffic light.........

These holes in the wall are handmade by angry Berlinians when the wall felt and the communistic Germany felt in pieces. Only a few parts of the WALL is in its origin, for tourists and for remembering this sad history.

This snapshot is a miracle (LOL) because it was a giantic work to create this three frames:

-Thousands of construction workers had to build a massive wall around a whole city with 2,5 million inhabitants;

-these workers needed a giantic mountain of material and money to pay it;

-tenthousands of policemen and frontline troupers had to watch that nobody got lost in a time of more than 28 years;

-nearly thousand persons were killed as victims, more then 100 between Berlin and Berlin;

-hundredthousands inhabitants of Berlin needed all their energy to hack holes in the wall to create these frames - and this here is the result of their working: Frames, dozens, hundreds, thousands, all good fine handmade.........

I hopeyou enjoy it. Have fun! What kind of contest will bring us the next month?
