ESG, or East Side Gallery, is one of those major Berlin sights that everyone who visits the city should see. It's the longest stretch of the Berlin Wall that still remains (1.3 km) and was preserved as a form of outdoor/interactive art gallery. Since the Wall came down in 1989, artists from all over the world have been invited to paint a section and leave messages of peace and hope. It's also one of those fantastic "see Berlin history/culture without paying to go into a museum" things to do, which I am particularly fond of.
Clearly the scene itself wasn't black & white, that was courtesy of newly discovered color settings on my camera. But it's a serious message, and b&w seemed appropriate. For my Anglophones, look closely on the left for the English translation.
