The one point of interest is the Brunswick Palace and the grounds. You can't actually go in the Palace, but the grounds were really neat. I wouldn't go back, but it was fun for an afternoon. Here are some pictures with the highlights.
Sitting in the leaves with the Palace in the back:
Apparently Beethoven was a regular visitor to the original palace and gave music lessons to the daughters of the guy who lived there. There's even a story that he fell in love with one of the daughters. I'm naming this statue "Beethoven meets Stalin" or "Beethoven: Communist Style":
I don't know what kind of tree this is, but it was really cool--I think all those little stump-like things are roots or something:
Another bit of tree fun...I'm not sure what is going on with this tree here:

I dig the totem pole.
My bad -- that comment was mine.
It doesn't look too crowded at the palace either. It looks like a beautiful day. Are most days sunny like that? Is it still pretty warm, I notice you are in short sleeves?
Kristen--yeah, there weren't too many people there...mostly families on picnics. The weather has been great the last few weeks--I usually just carry a light sweater. I'm afraid it's going to get cold soon, though!
great pictures...you could be a professional photographer and publish a book on "out of the way and unusual" shots?
