 "Sanssouci" (French "carefree") is the former summer palace of Frederick the Great, King of Prussia in Potsdam, Germany. You should visit Potsdam (just outside Berlin) and the wonderful Sanssouci Park sometimes. Maybe we can meet for a phototour?

Usually I do not take photos of the sights of my hometown. Somehow I am inhibited in this point, perhaps because I've seen them too often already. But this is a great pity, because Potsdam ist full of parks and castles. In this challenge I make an exeption, because I would like to share this view with you.

Hey I've been here. Love the place. I would have liked to have seen the stairs more centered so that the whole picture was perfectly symmetrical.
