Berlin, Germany

Adjacent to Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin is a luscious urban park, a bit of an oasis embedded in the heart of Germany’s capital city. Walk past the well-manicured flower gardens adjacent to the palace buildings, above, to find something a little more untamed, like this quiet spot below. These photos are from my visit to Berlin last year.

Seen about a year ago: Some of the majestic columns in a former royal palace building at Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, Germany, near Berlin. The structure is now part of the campus of the University of Potsdam.

Some random art spotted last September on an exterior wall, spotted as I strolled down a side street not too far from King’s Cross-St. Pancras station in London.

An elevated pedestrian walkway made less-ordinary thanks to a little extra visual something. Spotted near Covent Garden in London last year.
