Location City -  AKA: Auschwitz
State -  OSWIECIM (POLISH NAME OF TOWN)
Country - Poland   Poland
About When people can't work out their problems with each other, can't learn to accept each other's differences, and let people live their lives the way they want to the next step is to put up walls to divide them (save the people from themselves). Governments love this because it gives them more power to control the people and also allows a lot of room for distractions while they carry on their sneaky little business deals. Once in a very great while when the people aren't watching they let their Government get totally out of control. Drunk with power these Governments start doing insane things like invading countries without any valid reason, make the people walk in lock step with them or be harrassed (or worse) by the authorities, and round up suspicious people and ship them off to jails or camps without giving them any due process and simply assuming they are all guilty. That's usually where it all ends.
This photo, by the way, is the top part of one of the walls at the Auschwitz Nazi Concentration Camp. Over 8 million people were murdered here. About 6 million Jews and 2 million others (Slavis, Gays, Gypsies, Handicapped people, Etc.) This is the outcome of a Government TOTALLY out of control. It wasn't very long ago that all this happened and, if history's taught us anything, it can happen again anytime
PS used to desaturate the color. Full frame.

Hi Mark,

I love this shot. Full of ominous imagery...dark and foreboding! Your about is true, too.

I realize from the past few weeks, that many of us have a basic disagreement on todays political issues....and that's ok. We all probably get our emotions caught up, while trying to state our position as best we can, and as a result, we alienate each other, and the whole thing gets messy.

What I would like to point out about your excellent photo, and your astute observations, is that some people fear that it is our government that is "out of control", and trying to be sneaky, and controlling. Drunk with power, and trying to get the rest of the world to walk "lock-step" with them.
I can tell you that as strongly as you feel that that is the case.....there are MANY more, who are not protesting. That contrary to what the national "mainstream" media wants us all to believe, there are MANY more people in this country who feel that you are describing the regime that we have dismantled, and not the U.S. I understand that there are those who really believe that we invaded Iraq for no reason....or worse, FOR OIL! I for one (though I speak for many) believe that we are replacing brutality with freedom. It doesn't come quick, it doesn't come easy, it doesn't come without bloodshed.

It never has.

Thanks for the reminder of what can happen when a government goes completely out of control. Your photo does justice to that tragedy. I appreciate an open mind, and a healthy exchange, where both sides are considered.

Regards,
Brad

Powerful in more ways than one - the image itself stands alone but the commentary hits home with a real powerful punch - viewers should remember that the walls of the past may have been made of wire, concrete and steel but the walls being built today by the so-called free world though they may be invisible are just as deadly to the human soul .. great work and congrats on the run of BIPS this week - thanks for the food for thought and this excellent image - kev

Right words Mark, I agree with you. This strong photo remember one of the worse moment of humanity story, it has also a deep value for me because my father was imprisoned in a nazi lager during WWII in Poland and he was freed by red army. Bye, Max

Well composed picture and chillingly identifiable to anyone who knows their history. I'll leave the political debate that the well written About invites alone. I think we touched on that once a while back and basically agreed to disagree.

senator mark,

i cannot help but point out that, to my knowledge, the only government that is currently building walls to segregate people is israel. ;^)

i'll stop there as this subject could be even longer and murkier than the last one we discussed. but you can tell where i'm going with that, no?

love the photo, btw. great work.

take care,
tom

A striking image, Mark.

A wonderful historic synopsis, there.
What concerns me most is that it never STARTS with the barbed-wire and guards, but that is where it inevitably leads.

It made me smile to see Dear Leader didn't even get a BOUNCE from his "everything's going as planned" talk (again in front of an audience unable to dissent). My nightly prayer is that The People will awake from their "Access Hollywood" dream, and look around at what's happening.

July 4th is marked by men of courage. We need more courageous people in our midst today.

Dear Angelo, which Fund would that be? My public fund or my more interesting (at least to me and my banker) off shore, tax free secret fund? Vote for me and every household gets a free DVD of "Titanic" ! How's that sound? BTW, I'm glad you like my about so much, Thanks. I do think the photo actually has even more of a grim look to it than the original. But I didn't really do that much to it - it's pretty grim to begin with - that day the weather definitely fit the place. A real stomach turning eye opener.......

Nice work but the image is totally upstaged by the impassioned and well-argued "About".

I like it a lot, all round.

Let me know when I can start to contribute towards the campaign funds, senator!
