Smit & Palarczyk > [GERMANY.BRANDENBURG 11] 
'Schloss and Park Sanssouci, Potsdam.'

Stairs climbing terraced vineyard garden towards the baroque Sanssouci palace, french for free of worries. This garden is the heart of the much larger, 290 ha Sanssouci Park, that itself is just the centerpiece of a whole chain of parks, gardens and palaces. Friedrich der Große (Frederick the Great) and generations of Prussian kings after him had these parks constructed along the banks of the Havel, a river that widens into an idyllic lake every few kilometers. The park landscape starts at Werder and reaches, via Potsdam, deep into Berlin. In the past the Glienicker Bridge, famous for its exchange of spies, divided this area. Since the German unification you can enjoy it as a whole and it has become a UNESCO World Heritage site. Photo Paul Smit.

Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01725] 'Sweating gardener.' Everywhere on Isola Madre you recognize the 'English' way of gardening, with exotical plants coming from all over the world. But ofcourse no gardener is English. Heavy sweating Italoboys do the work. They make Isola Madre the most interesting place to be among the Borromeo Islands, for garden lovers that is.
