A hole in the wall -taken along one of the still standing stretches of the Berlin Wall. In this case the stretch beside the very sobering Topography Des Terrors exhibition on the horrors of the Nazi regime in Germany and across Europe.
Germany, to its credit, has fully confronted its Nazi era history. You need a very strong constitution to view this exhibition in its entirety.
The photo was taken through the front window from the top deck of a bus.
The cyclist is one of the tens of thousands of Berliners who cycle as their main mode of transport every day. The fact that the city is flat encourages cycling but also Berlin motorists have a very understanding attitude towards cyclists unlike Sydney where the government and many branches of the media have an openly hostile attitude towards cyclists.
