Berlin Charlottenburg Palace (#0923)

Winter view of the formal garden side of Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin. Obviously, being January, the garden is not what it would be in the Spring and summer – but I am curious about how the gardeners make all of the groundhog (or similar) destruction disappear!

I went out to the palace just because it is a very large green space that isn’t part of the usual tourist routes. The size and majesty of the palace and grounds was impressive, even for a cold/rainy day – even more so when you learn that it was largely demolished at the end of WWII. Much more about it, and the decision to reconstruct, with forthcoming pictures.
