Dresden - At Night

Last but not least a couple of nightly impressions of Dresden. Firstly another view along the Elbe..
...and then two different views of the Semperoper at night.

Dresden - Details

Martin Luther looks skywards in front of the Frauenkirche. He is probably as surprised as I am because of the suddenly appearing blue sky.
The next pictures show a couple of architectural details to give an impression how playful the (remaining) old buildings of Dresden are designed.


And finally here it is as a whole: Europes newest old building, the reconstructed Frauenkirche. A truly beautiful building, inside and outside. Why don't we construct more of that kind nowadays?
By the way: only the very dark part of it on the left hand side was remaining after the war until very few years ago...

Dresden - Views

A view along the river Elbe...
...and the famous Brühlsche Terrasse.
And here's the Frauenkirche behind the roofs. All pictures are taken from almost the same point.

Grey evening in Dresden-Friedrichstadt

Just a 20-minute walk from the city center of Dresden is the quarter Friedrichstadt. It mainly consists of many empty buildings, a freight depot, a supermarket and one apartment house with holiday apartments for rent...where I stayed for the weekend. The weather was mostly grey and cloudy and the eventing was very quiet.
