"The German question will remain open as long as the Brandenburg Gate is closed"
Richard von Weizsäcker,Mayor of West Berlin.

While the main design of the Brandenburg Gate has remained the same since it was completed, the gate has played varying roles in Germany's history. First, Napoleon took the Quadriga to Paris in 1806 after conquering Berlin. When it returned to Berlin in 1814, the statue exchanged her olive wreath for the Iron Cross and became the goddess of victory. When the Nazis rose to power, they used the gate to symbolize their power. The only structure left standing in the ruins of Pariser Platz in 1945, apart from the ruined Academy of Fine Arts, the gate was restored by the East Berlin and West Berlin governments. However, in 1961, the gate was closed when the Berlin Wall was built.

Hola Markos.

Buena idea y composición. El contraluz funciona muy bien y a la vez es un trabajo sencillo. Sencillo, pero interesante.

Ta leme.
