Photographic late afternoon and evening stroll through Dresden,
the capital of the German state Saxony.

Dresden has a long history as the capital and royal residence for the Electors and Kings of Saxony,
who for centuries furnished the city with cultural and artistic
splendour. The city was known as the Jewel Box, because of its baroque and rococo city centre.

These photos are super superb, Uwe! You know when the city sparkles the most beautiful and you took advantage of your photography skillfulness of twilight to night scenes. Dresden Frauenkirche reflecting rosy hue and other illuminated architectures shining gold or silver are magically fascinating. Thank you for this sightseeing.
