Dresden – Brühlsche Terrasse

Walking in the late afternoon light.

 

On this terrace there are two sections either side of a pond and fountain with a planted border, that are like small dense forests of these deciduous trees. The smaller 'forest' is rectangular and the larger one square in plan. The branches interlock, so that the canopy and shade are complete. In summer, you are either sheltered in the dark or about to burst into the light. It feels extraordinary.
