Its been all too long.....travels to Australia, friends staying with me, showing them around Germany, but last weekend I achieved something I have been wanting to do for a very long time; I saw Dresden! Once the beautiful capital of Saxony, known for its culture and of course Porcellain, it was completely destroyed by air raids. It lay neglected for decades under the Communists.
Such a tribute to the Reunification of Germany, Dresden is once again resembling the beautiful baroque jewel it once was. Walking the streets, looking up at the dome of the Frauenkirche which took 16 years to rebuild, gazing upon the Zwinger palace and crossing the Elbe to glance back at the startling, stunning rebuilt skyline it is hard to hold back the tears....a tribute to humanity...Dresden...life is beautiful sometimes...
