Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.



To commemorate this monumental day in history, 1,000 foam dominoes, 2.3 meters in height, were set up where the Berlin Wall once stood. The blocks were painted by schoolchildren and stretched for 1.5 kilometres near the Brandenburg Gate and the German parliament and fell one by one, with pre-planned stops for speeches and memorials. The dominoes were conceived as a metaphor for the collapse of communism in the countries of eastern Europe after the Wall crumbled.

It really makes you feel lucky to live in a country like Canada.
