Life in Europe

#20
Fall in love with Fall [Berlin, Germany]

Over the past few years I have been patiently looking for a place in this city where I can simply love, relax and feel happy about myself to be here. Even though I am a city girl type (I've lived my whole life in an urban setting) walking in the forest, feeling the green nature has been a big part of who I am, it gives me such energy and strength. For me a great forest is a place of tranquility, it heals and calms me, and takes me away from busy daily routine.

And finally this Autumn... I might have found one place something might be close to my heart, that is called Charlottenburg Palace Gardens. It is known for Berlin's most beautiful baroque garden, which lies in a vast space behind the Charlottenburg Palace.

There are some popular places where Berliners love to chill out in the city, such as Tiergarten (a central park), Britzer Garten (a large well maintained park), Wannsee (a large lake and forest area), etc. But none of these places had such an impact on me as Charlottenburg Palace Gardens.

This below photos are taken about a few weeks ago, the fallen leaves are still a greeny yellow, the trees still have lots of leaves..... Can you see how freshly these leaves have fallen? We couldn't help starting to pick the acorns up and smelling them - what a heavenly earthy smell!

We have been extremely blessed with the weather this year. The Autumn has been unusually tropical with warm and bright sunny days. I am planning to go back to this garden tomorrow to see how the trees have changed colour even further. (I've absolutely fallen in love with this place!)

Days decrease, and Autumn grows, Autumn in everything.

This sentence sounded deeply to me,
And I thought little bit.

Like you, I thought that I had to actively search for "somethings" that fit my sensitivity.

Yes... it's rather deep isn't it : D Oh you feel the same living in Tokyo?

Yes. Recently I have realizing that I am breaking the balance as human,
because for a long time I had awareness to priority to efficiency and rationality.

I have been worrying about how to use my mind for the past few years, so something like answer should come gradually.

Your post is always being a very nice hint for me.
Thank you.(・∀・)ノ

Ohh thanks mdn. I think you should come to the forest for a long walk with me!! I know some amazing forests here in Europe, especially in Belgium. It heals me and gives me lots of energy. Hopefully you can come one day! :D

I have a feeling that we will meet in real someday.♥(・∀・)♥

If u are in Berlin, you can try the best burger i have ever tried in The Bird.:) Of course if you are a burger lover.

Hi tilen1991, Of course we are all burger lovers when in Berlin, aren't we! Never been to The Bird, I should try them then, thanks for the tip. The Butcher and Shiso Burger are great too :)

What a wonderful way to spend some time walking around the Palace garden. The scenery is absolutely stunning. Nice to see you back @anna-bella.

Thanks loveself! The best part is that it makes you feel like the entire space is all yours (there's hardly any other people there). Cheers, absolutely lovely to be back!
