One of the things I found so amazing about Berlin in '92 was the remnants of WWII. The Russians and East Germans seem to have practically left the city in rubble. You could literally tell exactly where the dividing line was between east and west Berlin, just by the state of the buildings and streets, and the piles of rubble. The Reichstag was still bullet-pocked.

One of my favorite pictures from my time in Germany was of a building in East Berlin. It looked to be an old dreary apartment high rise, about 10 stories. The crossbars seperating the window panes in all the windows were painted white, so the entire building, brooding over this wasteland and rubble before it, looked like a field of crosses, like a graveyard. Great picture.
