Dresden under water

Dresden, June 2013

Dresden is a city I have long wanted to visit but never quite reached. In 2006 I was planning a visit but the city flooded, undoing much of the work of the just-completed and much vaunted city renovations.

Now the water is rising again and the Dresdner Semperoper is cancelling opera performances.  I shall have to plan my visit out of the rainy season as floods are predicted to get more frequent.
