/ DRESDEN.
A candlelit gold (#F3E2AE) is the evening peace of Dresden — where streetlamps light baroque stones, and the Elbe glows between twilight and reflection.
With the Bread, to the Border.
I spent two quiet months in this eastern German city—once blanketed in February snow, once blooming with May rapeseed.
Dresden is made for slowness: for cycling with a sandwich from Hauptbahnhof to the Czech border, for walking the Elbe greenbelt from east to west. It shares the convenience of a city and the calm of a countryside.
Every evening, the Elbe turns to gold — the water, the rooftops on the hills, and the lights of Frauenkirche.
Then comes the blue hour, when the old town glow and time takes a breath.
