![On the last evening of a recent 3-month stay across the street from the Dresden Zwinger, I stopped procrastinating and popped over for some evening shots.
The Zwinger is a former royal palace surrounding an open area that once hosted grand parades and celebrations, but very recently was restored to an orangery, as it had also been in former times.
The Zwinger museums house world-class collections of porcelain, fine art, and mathematical and physical [science] instruments.
A bit underexposed, this tight image is of the Cabinet–as they’re called–of the latter.
The orangery includes four fountains which - when turned off in the evening - become marvelous reflecting pools. This image was captured across one of them.
This building is a grand Baroque structure on four levels. The lowest bears a veranda, lined by an open, pillared stone balustrade, that runs the length of the building, and leads to a majestic staircase down into the orangery with the fountains (the pool of only one of which is partially viewable in the whole lower half of this image). On the veranda balustrade there are sculptural pedestals and putti [cherubs].
The second level [which extends longer than the third level] and the third, are walls of multi-paned ground to ceiling arched windows between colonnades.
On the uppermost floor is the Bogengalarie exhibition space within the curved ramparts.
Before full sunset, there are luminous highlights to the scattered small white clouds in a pale blue-grey sky. Sky and palace building are almost perfectly reflected in the pool below.
At midline of the image, a groomed lawn follows the concrete geometric edge of the pool, and along which 6 of the new citrus trees in black and white striped planters, can be seen.
