Wall and scenary

(134K) In the open space behind the Wall there aren't any houses. This may be one of the reasons why the rent in Berlin so high. (Waldemar St., Kreuzberg)
(113K) View from the top of a hill. The borderline goes straight and turns to left. Buildings seen in the picture are in West Berlin. (Waßmannsdorf Hill, Neukölln)
(107K) From the top of the same hill. In the middle the main airport of East Germany "Schönefeld" can be seen with some airplanes. (Waßmannsdorf Hill, Neukölln)
(116K) This was a wood area before the Wall was constructed. But the East German government cut down trees to make space for the "no-man's-land". The ground has been dried up as a result of the use of grass-killing chemicals. With the fall of the Wall it is probably now an environmental problem. (Spandau)
(113K) Michael Church and a watch tower. Some guards are walking on the military road and some are gathering. It may be time for a shift cahnge. (Waldemar St., Kreuzberg)
(97K) This photo was taken from an apartmenthouse beside the Wall. It shows how the city was devided by the "no-man's land". (Bethaniendamm, Kreuzberg)
(98K) The borderline is in the middle of the lake as demonstrated by the buoy. The segment and a watch tower appear in mist. (Griebnitz Lake, Zehlendorf)
(119K) Some citizens from West Berlin enjoy crusing on the lake in a motorboat. Over there is Potsdam, East Germany, and a dome of a church and a chimney of a factory are in the background. (Grienicker Lake, Zehlendorf)
(92K) Berlin is a big city, but it has a lot of fields and woods. Over the wheat field there is a fence and a watch tower. (Lübars, Reinickendorf)
(113K) There is a pond in front of the Wall. And it had snowed. (Spandau)
(131K) Borderline area provides sometimes good place for a picnic or taking walk. Many citizens enjoy their leisure time along the Wall, just with trying to forget seeing the segment. (Waßmannsdorf Hill, Neukölln)
