Well here we go again, another 53 weeks lie ahead of us.
If anything this next period will be more difficult than the first, if only because doing something again is often more difficult than setting out to do something the first time.
They say you should start as you mean to go on, so at the last minute on the Sunday afternoon (before the light faded), I walked up to the Belvedere Palace to shoot this.
I do hope you like it!

Stunning picture — the grey tones and the clouds are so evocative of a cold, damp, dreary (but beautiful!) place.
Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Yes – I saw that from your tag before I commented 🙂 I was just in Belvedere Castle yesterday for the first time, in NY, so thought it quite well-timed 🙂 Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Thanks, it’s great but it’s also messed up my statistics a little!
I like the photo and the sentiment behind the walk. Severe looking building from here tho 😉
Thanks, much appreciated!
Perfect Pic, even the clouds in the background lend to tell it’s story.
Thanks and congrats on being freshly pressed!

Gorgeous and stately picture of the Belvedere Palace in Potsdam. Sad I didn’t get to see this when I was there a few years ago. Although, can’t complain as I was able to visit Sans Souci.
What a wonderfully moody scene! I love just looking at it.
This place causes the creative juices to stir! What an amazing place to explore!! Can’t wait to check out the rest!
Dark, twisted and beautiful. Lovely photograph
I love the look of “old” buildings…especially if they have the word Palace in their name!
great view of the palace. very nice photograph.

Irony… When you get a (at least to myself) great shot of a snow-covered bench in the morning, and find a blog that featured benches for a year. I love it, and look forward to witnessing the progress of this new project.
Great I’ll have a look!
I was there just last month for the Gustav Klimt and co. exhibition! Your wonderful photo brought back fond memories ! 🙂
Love the imposing symmetry of the shot. Makes it look very powerful and ominous even. great work!
Fantastic picture! Took my breath away.
amazing…
What a stunning picture. Glad I found your blog.
