Dresden Pictures

Some of my favorite pictures taken during our August 2014 trip to Germany. Specifically, our day in Dresden, which is best known for its massive destruction at the hands of Allied bombers in 1945.

Interesting wooden model of a Chinese house greeted us at the top of the stairs. A bit of China in Germany??

Horse and carriage: neat way to tour the city!

Parts of the city are being rebuilt...
