Invisible Walls, Angel Wei with Kelcy McCabe, BUSA Dresden, F14

The picture was taken during a family trip. It was the first time I went to the Great Wall. It was such a surreal feeling when you think of all the brutal battles that happened in the thousands years of history. That makes you feel you encounter real history there.

There were many interesting quotes like this one on the entire wall and it meant a lot to me that these quotes summarized how people felt from all over the world.
Historic Wall_Castle of Meißen, by Dr. Ulrich Zeuner, BUSA Dresden Professor
I found the image of the Meißen Castle Wall interesting, because this wall divides and protects on the one hand - as it looms above the town, it seems insurmountable. On the other hand it constitutes an architectural connection to the garden below. Walls divide and connect.

This image is of the actual Berlin Wall outside of the Topography of Terror Museum. This was the first museum that I ever really enjoyed even being exhausted and all I spent over 4 hours in this museum absolutely shocked at what humans were capable of doing to one another.

Having grown up behind the wall in the German Democratic Republic and not having been able to travel the world during my childhood and youth, I am still feeling a sense of awe and respect for everyone who fought for the downfall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989. More

New England Walls, Prof. John Snyder, Ph.D., College & Grad School of Arts & Sciences – Chemistry
New England walls have an interesting history (..) ..(They) were likely built between 1775 - 1820, and often started simply as piles of rocks outlining the fields - where farmers basically tossed them to clear their fields.
