Blustery autumn day in Berlin

Perfect for exploring on the bicycle (Schloß Sans Souci will have to wait until after I return from Südtirol).

I leave by train Friday morning to Bozen, so a week of snapshots from the Dolomites will begin this Saturday!

Today's photos:

A bit of mid-afternoon refreshment, at Rosenrot café in Pankow

This part of Pankow has many lovely pre-war villas and apartment houses
