Some from Dresden castle

What a photogenic place Dresden is!

This is the lion knocker on Dresden's castle. Last time I was here the door was shut, this time it was open which meant it was more side lit, so I dug out a little detail and then converted in Silver Efex

I then walked down to the Augustus bridge and took this photo through the arches:

i returned later with my long lens to grab some mood with people in the shot. I had a lot of near misses with a nice shot of a couple but I was just too slow to catch it properly. I quite like this one although it isn't as sharp as I would like it. I like the feel of it though

Had another look at the last one and boosted the contrast and used the clarity slider a little

Pretty cool! I had thought Dresden was pretty well flattened during WWII, nice that some historical archetecture remains.

It was flattened. It has been rebuilt to pretty much it's former beauty
