Dresden, Germany

A few steps from the waterfront in Dresden’s historic centre. Snapped back in September 2016.

Dresden, Germany

Dresden’s cathedral was wrecked during the Second World War and remained a pile of ruin for decades. It re-opened to the public in 2005 after years of painstaking restoration. Here’s the scene outside the landmark in September 2016, its adjacent public square buzzing with activity.

Looking toward the old quarter from outside Dresden’s opera house. This view was snapped during my quick swing through the city last year.

Arts school

To my layman’s eyes, the glass dome of the arts school in Dresden looks like a lemon juicer. I’m sure I’ll be forgiven for my active imagination … because I later learned locals call this structure the “lemon squeezer!”

Stately arches

This is a lovely detour off the Georgenbau city gate on the way to the Neumarkt square. Not exactly off the beaten path, but a lot less crowded and a bit more visually interesting. Snapped this view on a visit back in September.
