The Semperoper. Originally built by the architect Gottfried Semper in 1841. After a devastating fire in 1869, the opera house was rebuilt, partly again by Semper, and completed in 1878. The opera house has a long history of premieres, including major works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. (Wiki)
The Fürstenzug (English: Procession of Princes) in Dresden, Germany, is a large mural of a mounted procession of the rulers of Saxony. It was originally painted between 1871 and 1876 to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Wettin Dynasty, Saxony’s ruling family. In order to make the work weatherproof, it was replaced with approximately 23,000 Meissen porcelain tiles between 1904 and 1907. With a length of 102 metres (335 ft), it is known as the LARGEST PORCELAIN ARTWORK IN THE WORLD. The mural displays the ancestral portraits of the 35 margraves, electors, dukes and kings of the House of Wettin between 1127 and 1904.

Love this! Is it just me or should every city be filled with colorful street art
Its not just you ~ I totally agree!
Fantastic capture of street art – really love seeing your photographic art.
Thank you !
wonderful – and to think that I was so close to Dresden and did not go. his photographs are stunning and show how much art on the street has not only beauty but the breaking of a gray and lifeless routine. art opens infinite portals to us. your photograph too.
Whose photographs? They’re all mine, actually. 🙂 Yes, Dresden is lovely.
