and now i know why.
potsdam, one of berlin's neighboring cities, is beautiful.
lang, amanda and i decided to take another fat tire bike tour with blakley.
this time we did a day trip, which was about 10 miles.
and i decided to give james brown a chance this time.
blakley took us through the historical parts, the countryside and downtown.all of it was equally photo-worthy.
this trip was a little interesting though,
because we had to take our bikes onto the train and ride that to postdam.
first, we visited some of the old palaces,
where the prussian rulers spent their summers.
this is the new palace.
the largest of palaces. built by friedrick the great.
surrounding the palaces were beautiful gardens
and other elaborate buildings.
another stop was the sanssouci palace.
this is where friedrick the great lived.
around the palace were fields of flowers.
i think i had more fun photographing them,
rather than the building.
glienicke bridge.
potsdam lies in former east germany,
but right over this bridge is where west berlin begins.
i don't know what it is about old doors and windows,
but they always catch my eye.
if anyone should ever get the chance to visit potsdam, you should.and touring anywhere is always better by bicycle.
