AFTER spending a single day in Berlin more than 10 years ago I've long been keen to return to the German city for a longer stay and have finally achieved this goal.
I'm spending a week in what was once East Berlin visiting many of the landmarks I know from my university history studies including the old Stasi Headquarters, the Berliner Dom, Checkpoint Charlie, and the Palace of Tears.
There's also time for the Berlin Wall Memorial, which stretches along a suburban street that became the front line between East and West when the communists "anti-fascist protecting wall" went up in August 1961, and that's where I snapped this photo of a angle hovering on an old section of the infamous concrete barrier.
There's only a small section of the wall
