| Description: | Unsung victims of the cold war almost 200 canal boats and the families that live on them. In earlier happier days plied the network of canals from Berlin (which is actually an island) through surrounding Germany. Today West Berlin is an ideology of freedom and Red East Germany and life under communism on the far shore holds no appeal hardy individualistic bargemen and their families. They formed a small close knit community idling away their time for want of work to do. Strangest causalities of the East and West. CUS - Canal boats. MLS - Woman hanging cloths. CUS - Men fishing off the boats. CUS - Woman peeling a potato. CUS - Man fishing. CUS - Man with a dog on his lap, cards in hand and smoking a cigarette. | |
