This small piece of the Berlin wall near Potsdammer Platz is covered by bright colored graffiti art, to protect it from being torn down like most of the former wall. The Poem reads as follows:
Everything gets better, but nothing gets good.
Freedom I did not find, neither here nor behind this wall. Maybe it flew away, to come back, ever.
(free translation, johnmk).

defintely a picture that tells a story. there are a lot of things i like about this image. the lines, the symbolic 'end of the wall' where it hits the wall. the colors. the other photographer. all in all, a great shot, even if it was shot in the middle of the day! good job!

I don't care for the photogapher in the picture.

Title is a little wordy, but who cares. THe inclusion of the photographer is important here and I'm glad you thought to do it. Otherwise, it's a pretty flat image. Lighting is quite harsh and would have been improved by catching the same scene later in the evening, with maybe some spot lights on the bright wall to accentuate.

Protect the Berlin Wall? That's... I'm not even going to make a joke about it, it does its own work...good pic, though.
