A Potsdam Sunday

Sometimes it takes the visit of a friend to really get out and see some of the sights in your area, so it was nice having a friend stay with us over the weekend, giving us a chance to tour the grounds of Frederick the Great's Sanssouci Palace (it really is a VERY small palace, but with a lovely park) in Potsdam once again. I'm just posting a very few pics I thought had some artistic value :)




















An ornate gazebo.



















Detail of the gazebo.



















Frog's eye view of the wine terraces and the palace.




















Top o' the Chinese Teahouse.




















Some Prussian princess' bust. If you look closely, you see the snowflakes :)




















B&W can make anything look artsy.




















This final one isn't Sanssouci (duh!) but a picture from the historic Dutch quarter of Potsdam (I had to aim high, as I didn't want to have any cars, street signs or people in the frame).
