A Not Too Far Bridge

The least I can do is post another thrilling photo of my new surroundings as another month rolls past without me really posting anything.

This is Bornholmer Brücke (Brücke = bridge), just around the corner from where I live, photographed exactly eight days ago.

Until 1989, this was an important checkpoint where only a carefully screened select few could pass into the West. On the night of November 9th 1989, this was where the wall first "fell" and East Germans surged through into new dimension of freedom, uncertainty and Coca-Cola. Dramatic and historical stuff. Bends the mind! (Foto: Wolfgang Sünderhauf/Umbruch-Bildarchiv)

Last time I crossed this bridge I was probably too busy checking my phone to think about any of this. How times change.
I don't drink Coke either.
