Dresden

Not only the size and beauty of this cathedral, but also its moving history, the complete destruction by bombs in World War II and the reconstruction, which has been started 50 years later, made it a unique building that is known far beyond the borders of Germany.

This spot at the "Brühlsche Terrasse" seemed to be another good spot in Dresden to shoot a bigger panorama. I stayed there all evening until complete darkness and made quite a few HDR exposer series. Despite this one was pretty early and long before blue hour, it came out well.

A blue hour in the beautiful city of Dresden. I would have liked the water level of the Elbe river to be a bit higher, but am still pleased with the view and the reflections.

Although there are currently many construction sites on the grounds of the Zwinger, I found a few perspectives that show the unique beauty of the baroque building complex.

One more panorama from the "Brühlsche Terrasse" wich I think offers the best overview on the baroque outline of Dresden as well as on the Elbe River and some of the excursion boats. I've chosen on a tighter angle here in order to bring out the details of the Semperoper and the "Katholische Hofkirche" better. In addition, the only little color accent of the evening sky.

Another beautiful morning in Dresden.

Dresden in the mirror of the Elbe river at blue hour. At the moment this is one of the few views without a construction site. Even in this photo I thought about retouching one crane in front of the "Hofkirche".

Panorama of Dresden and the Elbe river as seen from the dome of the Frauenkirche. There were not the best colors at high noon, so I decided to show it in b/w. I hope you like it anyway. 5 shots handheld. Stitched in LR finished in PS.
