Bet you can't...

Now I went through Germany and I got this picture http://img.ruba.com/0/154/103_v.jpg, What I want to see is if you can tell me where the picture taken, the place not the website. Hope you can.

Isn't this Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin, taken from the east and facing into the American sector ...? (Not that the American sector exists any more, it's all Berlin nowadays).

I drove through Checkpoint Charlie in 1972 in a VW van. The East Germans went through the van with a fine toothed comb both on the way in and out.

I was just 18 and so were my 2 traveling companions... East Berlin was so depressing that we left after only a couple of hours.
