Berlin Wall

After we left the pocket park, Josh took me to see this treasure - a section of the real Berlin Wall. The artwork is by Thierry Noir. Please view this one enlarged.

For more information about how this section of the Berlin Wall ended up in a landscaped courtyard at the corner of 53rd and Madison, follow this informative link: http://empireguides.com/2013/08/berlin-wall-nyc/

WoW!!! This is pretty cool... I had no idea part of the wall was moved to NYC!

[Leana Niemand]

A wonderful shot!!!

Amazing, that part of the wall is in NYC. It is so symbolic. Super image of it, Danny. Looked at the link, really interesting, thank you. We never saw the Wall in Berlin but looked over from West Germany to East Germany in the Harz Mountains, which were part in the East, part West. The barrier there (1980s) was electrified fencing, lookout towers with armed guards and scarified, mined land!

Well that is kewl! A great find and very colorful.

[Ross Walker]

I like the way this section of wall was "repurposed". Much better usage as art.

[Disha Parekh]

FAV
I had no idea that was in NY. Great history there. Is it behind a rope or anything to protect it from people?

[Darinka]

[Carole Imes]

I had no idea either that this was in NY. Fabulous image and beautifully captured.

Great shot. I have a small piece of the wall somewhere. Wish I knew where... Am off to Berlin in a couple of weeks too.

What a cool find. This is the 25th anniversary of it coming down. I would love to see it again.

[Debbie]

Great shot Danny. We saw part of the wall when we were in Berlin in February but I had no idea part of it was in NY

[Arefin]

beautifully photographed! love the colors and framing!

[Sean O'Neill]

It is good that this has been preserved, because the East Side Gallery in Berlin is suffering basly from neglect.

[Danny G.]

@cdonohoue Thanks for the fav. There are no ropes or barriers, you can walk right up to it and touch it.

I was in Berlin in September Danny and loved the East Side Gallery. This looks better kept! Well photographed. Oh and hello again!
