Golden Hope

History is a mighty dramos, enacted upon the theatre of times, with suns for lamps and eternity for a background.

Thomas Carlyle

The memorial is located near the Brandenburg Gate. It was built between 2003 and 2005 according to a design by architect Peter Eisenman. This design represents a radical approach to the traditional concept of a memorial, partly because he does not use any symbolism. The grid pattern, consisting of 2711 concrete stelae, which can be walked through from all sides, leaves it up to the visitors to find their own way in and out of the complex.

Very strong photo....there is a figure/ground thing between the structures and the sky that keeps shifting back and forth for me in this image, making it all the more intense.

I love the light, shadows, and angles in this picture. For some reason it has a 'clean' Blade Runner feel to it.
