Frederick the Great by Anton Graff – from Wikipedia
Frederik the Great’, aka Friedrich der Große is justifiably almost synonymous with Berlin – he created his great palace with the baroque gardens ‘Sanssouci’ [no worries!] in Potsdam just outside Berlin.

About one month ago the above picture was taken in Cannes France at the November Meeting of the G20 and while everyone seems happy on the photo – it seems not much has changed since then.
However the German Chancellor Angela Merkel never lets any grass grow under her feet and one may like or dislike her policies – one cannot deny her [...] Continue Reading…
