hi Claudio, this photo was taken on the day the border crossing at the Brandenburg Gate was opened. There was a very long line of people waiting. So I skipped the line and went to the front, climbed a wall and made some pictures. And then went to West Berlin through the checkpoint. In the first days the border police stamped the passports, they soon gave that up when they ran out of ink...

Very historic - therefore I bookmarked it under my favourites.
