On this day in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. I took this first picture in 1976 from West Berlin looking into East Berlin. It was one of the scariest places in the world at the time. There were land mines in the ground, snipers standing watch. Lots of people were killed trying to escape to the West. The bottom photo was taken just a few weeks after the Wall began to fall in 1989. That's my brother and I playing around by a wall that had scared us so much just a little more than a decade earlier.
