Leading up to Halloween, over the next week we'll break with our usual format to show you some of the more macabre sights we've seen during our travels throughout Europe.
At right we see Death inscribing the name of Sophie Charlotte, Queen of Prussia, into the book of eternity.
This moment is immortalized (can I use that word when speaking of Death?) at the base of Sophie's monument by Andreas Schlüter in the Berliner Dom.
BTW, thanks to the multiple bloggers who've tagged us; we need a day to recuperate from our travels, so check back tomorrow.
UPDATE: To see this pic in color, click here. Although the gold-plated original is striking, I thought the b/w version is better for the season.
