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.
