Displaced

At Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, near Berlin, a number of statues were moved out of the New Palace (Neues Palais) there, owing to restoration and renovations in the building. It made for an unusual capture when I visited this September.

Grand palace

Sanssouci Park in Potsdam, Germany, is home to some neat historical palaces tied to the German monarchy. Above is the New Palace; below is Sanssouci Palace. Most of the buildings have been preserved and are open to the public for visits; some are used by the University of Potsdam.
