Is it really worth a thousand words?

Sundays here are a conundrum.  99 percent of the city is closed and more people are out and about than any other day of the week. Justin and I decided last Sunday that we better figure out what everyone does!  They window shop, spend time with family and simply meander about slowly. 

At the end of our street and accessible by tram is Schloss Wilhelmshoher, Lowenburg Castle, and Herkules Monument.  The surrounding parks and gardens around all three were our Sunday destination today.  We went for a little hike to enjoy the fall colors. I could bore you with a cheesy description comparing it to a million things, but today I brought a camera AND batteries.

Before we begin, none of these pictures do this park justice. It is something created only in dreams.

So sorry I didn't get any pictures of the 4 waterfalls we saw or the swans.  It was a bit darker near the falls.  Next time we are there in the afternoon, I will try for better lighting.  I still can't believe I live in this city.  When it hits me, I will let you know!  Happy Sunday!

One more, just to prove we were there ;)
