Twenty years on from the start of the fall of Communism
100,000 people gathered to march for peace, just like back then
This time, the parade was accompanied by artworks of light
Thousands of people projected onto a church
The i of Leipzig, in candles
People placed their candles to show solidarity
Leipzig has some marvellously renovated buildings
This palace was completely run-down 20 years ago
Leipzig has a huge woodland that stretches right through the centre of the city and out either side
Dietmar, the host with the most
Dirk, the other host with just as much
What sort of a face is that?
You've gotta love multiple-exposure self-timer shots
The aluminium frontage of this DDR-era department store was highly modern at the time
The same church as before, only this time by day and minus projection
Inside the Nikolai church, where it all began 20 years ago
The columns are fantastic
The ceiling over the alter is delightful too
Thinking of loved ones
What is it with Germany and crazy statues?
Leipzig's old town from above
Porn star shades never look shite
Another marvellously restored building
The old town hall square
Just to remind us of the Communist era buildings that still stand
That is one LONG house
Quizzical
HOW many police?
The coppers were everywhere
Even on horseback
They were bused in from all over Germany, presumably for last night's march
The newly-restored university library
This staircase hadn't existed since World War II
Another fine old building
Graffiti artists have a sense of humour too
Many buildings, despite renovation, stand empty
The old Communist-era guest house for VIPs
A delicate balancing act for a big bear
Celebrating having just had a beer and it not yet raining
Looks a bit English; I think it's the stripes
Excellent piece of subversive graffiti
Dietmar got this great shot of me at our farewell coffee in Leipzig station
