Autumn at Sanssouci

Sanssouci is a historical palace and park in Potsdam, near Berlin, Germany. Built by Prussian King Frederick the Great as his summer palace, it is often thought of as the German rival to Versailles. Besides the main palace, Schloss Sanssouci, the area contains many other palaces. One such palace, the Orangery Palace, is separated from the Belvedere Klausberg by a long tree-lined promenade. It was here, on a fine October day, that I found myself standing and admiring two 500-meter (550-yard) long rows of trees, their bright yellow leaves glowing in the sunshine with the Belvedere Klausberg standing tall between them in the distance. It was also here that I decided to unpack my photo gear and create a wonderful ultra-high-resolution image of the scene.
