Remains of the Berlin Wall at the Eastside Gallery - Berlin

Given that the Trabant was made of plastic, I don't think it could make it's way through a wall...wishful thinking!© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Frauenkirche in Moonlight - Dresden

The Frauenkirche, considered Germany's most important Lutheran church, is situated on the Neumarkt (new market). It was built between 1723 and 1743, but was badly bombed during World War II and remained an anti-war monument in its rubbled state until the early 1990's. The church was rebuilt recently, true to its original form, using stones from the original structure.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Photolike images such as these draped over buildings under reconstruction help to fill the imagination until work is complete.© www.uncorneredmarket.com

Black Forest Farmer - Outside Nurnberg, Germany

Well, this farmer isn't from Strasbourg, but we stayed in his family's pension for a night outside Nurnburg on our way there. When we arrived late at night, the men of the family were drinking schnaps and when they found out we were from the States and specifically San Francisco, they started cheering on the TV show Streets of San Francisco. Who said Hollywood isn't America's best advocate in public diplomacy? The next morning, the farmer showed us his dairy cows and walked us around his barn. He didn't speak any English, and we little German, but we managed to communicate just fine.© www.uncorneredmarket.com
