Berlin, GERMANY: A mother helps her child down from a giant sculpture featuring a pair of football sport shoes in Berlin 04 May 2006. The sculpture, one of six making up the so-called "Walk of Ideas", is made of a new type of plastic (Neopor), and was sponsored by Germany's federal government to present the country as a "Land of ideas" to the millions of visitors expected to come through the capital before or during the FIFA 2006 Football World Cup, which takes place in Germany from 09 June to 09 July 2006. In the background is seen Berlin's new main station "Berlin Hauptbahnhof". AFP PHOTO JOHN MACDOUGALL (Photo credit should read JOHN MACDOUGALL/AFP via Getty Images)
