About two hours south of Berlin, Dresden makes for a splendid weekend trip, even in November. Much of the city is in fine shape, after long years of reconstruction following the firebombs of 1945, but it still looks like a construction site in many places. We walked along the Elbe, both sides, and spent a half day at the Zwinger art gallery, a real treasure house. Just walking around the city is fun, especially when you come upon surprises like this one. The top photo is a look inside the restored baroque church in the center of the city, the Frauenkirche, perhaps the city's proudest accomplishment. We were there on a sunny morning with light streaming in from the high windows.
