Berlin Wall In Los Angelesby $makepictures

Photography / Street

You can read about the Berlin Wall here: [link]

If you are of a certain age and from a certain population, this photograph has an element of the surreal (placing the Berlin Wall segments in the middle of distant Los Angeles) as well as the political (placing Latino children into a scene twenty-two tears from the wall coming down in Berlin and just a few years after a very similar wall went up in San Diego and on the West Bank).

If not, it's a just a record of the sometimes disconnected visual cacophony that can be Los Angeles. The location is in front of an office building opposite the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Wilshire Boulevard.

I think you meant "twenty-two years?"

It is twenty-two years but the use of "tears" evokes both the pain of when the wall stood and the relief of when it came down - - people cry for both.

I remember when it came down what a piece of history.
as everyone cheered ..
