Re: CZDEPL Tripoint

A lovely pic! Just at the point where the bird now stands, surveying 
the multi-national view, the then German Chancellor (Herr Schröder)
met with the Heads of Government of the Czech Republic and Poland at 
11 am on 1 May 2004. It was a bit of a sqeeze, and the bird had to 
move, particularly as there were a few dozen journalists and writers 
there too (myself included). Rarely was a tripoint so frequently at 
on that day!
