Checkpoint Charlie

A bit underwhelming, but it has to be done.

Brill

[Pat Knowles]

Wow such a famous sight! Glad they have kept some of it intact!

[Suzanne]

Now with MacDonalds right next to it!

[Corinne C]

It's nice and hopefully will keep the memory alive

[Phil Sandford]

A very poor replication of what it actually looked like when the wall was up; I hope you went into the Checkpoint Charlie museum, that is well worth it.

[Susan Wakely]

Not what I was expecting.

[KWind]

A necessary stop and shot!

[Renee Salamon]

Also not what I was expecting - but a must

[Phil Howcroft]

yes it is the big McDonalds is an eyesore on a piece of history

[Heather]

Interesting to see. And yes, the ubiquitous McDonald's.

[Lesley]

@phil_sandford That’s on the itinerary for today, I believe, along with a tour of the Reichstag. It’s been a busy few days…

[Diana]

Great shot of this busy street scene. I'm with Phil as far as the checkpoint is concerned, enjoy the museum.

[Issi Bannerman]

It does have to be done.

[Boxplayer]

Indeed

[Kathy A]

Definitely

[Brian]

Indeed

[Monica]

Oh yes

[carol white]

Great capture

[Carole Sandford]

It was formidable in its day! You had to drive through a walled floodlit chicane. Show ID & paperwork. You also had to have a military escort with you.

[haskar]

The color here offends me. It's a pity that we don't allow ourselves a moment of reflection.

[bkb in the city]

Great piece of history

[Phil Sandford]

@carole_sandford I never experienced it, being forbidden to enter that side of the City.

[Rob Z]

So many interesting components.
