Budapest, Vienna, Salzburg, Cesky Krumlov, Prague, Dresden and Berlin
hangchoi:
Dresden, Germany......another nice old city with Elbe river flowing through
Same as most of the old cities I had visited in this trip, they have a palace, square, theatre, church.......etc....
The second pic is the wall art showing all the Kings that had ruled the Germany area in ancient time.......The funny thing is that, after two world wars, most of the old buildings in Dresden were destroyed....EXCEPT this one......the bomb never hit it.........so most of the building here were re-built but not this one.
hangchoi:
Finally Berlin.......The Parliament building and Brandenburger Gate
hangchoi:
These two building is just next to the Brandenburger Gate....The first one is the US Ambassador.....I took this pic because the day was 911 which their flag was down......
The second one....guess what.....Do you remember a scene that Michael Jackson swung a baby on the balcony of a hotel....here it is......
hangchoi:
Berlin is full of war history.........These 2 pics is not so clear and I knew that when I took them but they have some meaning there.
The first pic shows the place where Hilter suicided, now there are only 2 trees......
The seond one is the so-called "Underground Library". The place was the location where the books were burnt under Hilter's order. After war, an artist built an underground room there with some empty book shelves put inside. At night, a stream of light will go up to the sky and reminds people why they blindly follow Hilter's instructions at that time and how the war hurts us.
hangchoi:
Another historical moment is the separation of East and West Germany........It was signified by the Berlin Wall......
The Wall was down 20 years ago.......some of the wall was removed and road built, some are remained for memorising the event.
The first pic is on the road where the brick indicates the previous position of the wall....My left foot is on the East Germany and my right is on the West....
The second pic is the boundary point between East and West Berlin......
