I was 16 and across the ocean when the wall came down but remember it well! I really like how you've captured this in b& w and with the tea cup... I am curious though what is in the upper left above the paper?

Very apt given 20 years and all, amazing newspaper to have kept all this time.

Even though I'm half way around the world, I'll never forget when the wall came down. Images I saw on TV are forever engrained in my mind.

Excellent idea! I love these reproductions of the old front pages: it's another way of bringing history alive.
Ray :)08-Nov-2009 20:03
ah, I'm expecting an ironic interpretation of "Another Brick in the Wall" to feature!
Or "Goodbye Cruel World" perhaps!
