Berlin's famous Brandenburg Gate by Night

This is Berlin. No, I'm not anywhere near Berlin (UNFORTUNATELY). BUT, in my effort to catch you up with photos from the fall and early winter, I'm taking a step back in my time machine...

Every time I'm in Berlin I absolutely must take my traditional stroll down Unter den Linden street to the famous Cold War landmark, the Brandenburg Gate. The Berlin wall extended on both sides of the gate dividing the city in 2. Hard to imagine. History books don't do it justice. You need to come to Berlin to get an idea of what that really meant. Hard to believe, too, but many young kids today in Germany don't even know what the Berlin Mauer (wall) was.
