This is the coldest winter in Dresden in more than five years. Perhaps nothing remarkable but a genuine winter, a challenge to be met. I learned to meet the challenge in Iowa and added a few stripes in Russia. I even keep the heat low in my flat. This makes going out less daunting.
Germany is noted for it's numerous overcast winter days. Today was not one of them. The light was amazing. Not brilliant but warm, not harsh but soft and delicate, the sun low in the sky at 4PM, as i waited for the strassenbahn at Altmarkt, a sack of books just gotten at Thalia.
