Dresden is a beautiful historic city - especially so at night. The girls had a sleep over with Auntie Kirk, so Outing and I took the tripod out for a few snaps. The rainclouds made for some dramatic skys over some beautiful architecture.
The city was extensively damaged in WWII bombings through controvercial bombings by the Allies. Over 90% of the city centre destroyed, but you might never know it by looking at it today.
Dresden has a historical significance as the capital of Saxony, and was the home of previous kings and electors. Today, it has a population of 500,000 and is one of the ten fasted growing cities in Germany. It made for a perfect stop for the Anderson's on our travels across Germany...
