East Europe Mugs

The Berlin Blockade (24 June 1948 – 12 May 1949) was one of the first major international crises of the Cold War.

The national emblem of the German Democratic Republic featured a hammer and a compass, surrounded by a ring of rye. It was an example of what has been called "socialist heraldry".

The first designs included only the hammer and ring of rye, as an expression of the GDR as a communist "Workers' and Farmers' state" (Arbeiter- und Bauernstaat). Surrounded by a wreath, the national emblem also acted as the emblem for the East German National People's Army, and when surrounded by a twelve pointed white star, for the People's Police.

One of the amazing mosques of Istanbul, Turkey, as seen from the Bosphorus River. I saw this scene as we stopped from a day of randomly walking around, taking in the sights of this incredible city.
