There have been some amazing photos around the web this week marking the events. Here are some of the images that I've found to be most moving and evocative. I definitely recommend visiting each of these sites to see more...especially the then and now series over at Boston.com

Great photo choices!
Thanks for visitng my website. Twenty years ago It was my first quarter as a new professor here at Ohio University. I was also working on my PhD. At the time, I was so busy with my academic career, that I probably didn't take much time to think about current events. It was a great event. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
what an amazing moment and these pictures capture it perfectly. wow.
These are great photos to capture such a monumental moment in world history. I can remember when this happened. I was so happy and hopeful about the future.
Amazing photos, darling!

Wow!!! I am speechless...
Thank you so much for sharing these. It is so important for us to remember the past, to know where we should go from here...
These are all beautiful. I remember when the wall came down when I was young. My uncle went down to Berlin from Sweden and brought me back a fragment of the wall. I still have it in my bedroom. It's so weird when I look at it to think of what it really is and what it means...
i know this is/was such a huge deal, and i am so glad that wall is down. DOWN.
It is amazing that it has been so long. I too, can still remember. I didn't fully grasp what it meant at the time, but thank you for reminding us all:)
