Innere Altstadt

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.

"Brühlsche Terrasse" one more time in B/W

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.

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.

Another beautiful morning in Dresden.

The Procession of Princes is located on the outside of the Stallhof. The 101-meter-long mural represents the history of the Wettins, Saxony’s ruling family, as a larger-than-life procession of riders. The artwork by Wilhelm Walther was completed for the 800th anniversary of the princely House of Wettin between 1872 and 1876, as a sgraffito on the outside wall of the Langer Gang. Because of weather conditions, the work quickly began to fade, and was transferred to Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907 to preserve it. More than 24,000 tiles were used to represent the 35 margraves, princes and kings as well as 59 scientists, artisans, craftsmen and farmers.

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.
