383: Freedom of Speech

Photobucket

Seen near German Bundestag. In Germany Freedom of Speech is protected according to Article 5 of the German Constitution. Articles 1 - 20 are the core principles of the German Constitution. If you ever happen to be in Berlin have a walk around the Government Buildings, the German Bundestag especially.

Sometimes I can't help but be reminded of the Danish philospher Soeren Kierkegaard who once said: "People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use." Sometimes this quote is hitting its target with stinging accuracy.

I like the thought and the multi-layered colour of this.

excellent quotation and the reflection is very cool.

Wonderful layers to this. The red columns really add a pop to it too.
