Dresden Wednesday Morning, The Golden Rider and Canaletto was Here.

Once again this evening I am bit lost for words.  There is so much to write about that I have "Blog Block."  This is Augustus the Strong on his horse.  I think you will all have to refer to your history books or Wikipedia to read about this man and his part in the history of Dresden.

I visited the places where Canaletto had painted, and stood in the great man's steps, a very interesting thing to do.  Two of the scenes are below.  The city was full of Japanese tourist this morning, and I could not get into the Frauenkirche to hear the organ service.  The queue snaked around the building and I didn't fancy standing in the sun.  Never mind I will try tomorrow.
