On the one hand, I’m not qualified to comment on the American mid-term elections, which is the thing everyone wants to talk about right now. On the other hand, it’s been a while since I did any location posting, so perhaps you’ll enjoy a few photos of Schloss Pillnitz on the eastern edge of Dresden, where I’ve spent the past week completing various chores. It was particularly beautiful this evening in the light of the setting sun, so I took the ferry over for a walk, and for once I remembered my camera.
No one is qualified to talk about American elections, but many do. There is not "an" election, but hundreds, all managed differently, each with their own unique inefficiencies and corruption. It's beginning to appear the outcome of this one will be a continued, even increased, gridlock. Gridlock means no progress, and due to inevitable entropy, no progress produces deterioration.

Comment away. Pennsylvania just elected someone with an obvious Traumatic Brain Injury. If the US Donkeys are going to have Shadow Senators, I think we should hear from our allies, whom we may or may not freeze to death this winter.
Absolutely lovely. Peter the Great (and other early Romanovs) were charmed by this German architecture and replicated it while building St Petersburg and places like Gatchina.
Thank you for the beautiful distraction. Very thoughtful and thank you again!
Thanks for these lovely photos. I did not know about the place.
DeSantis quote: 'Florida is where woke comes to die'. If only we had a Ron in barmy blighty.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing the images.
As for the midterms...those in the US who find dereliction and subjugation attractive will enjoy their future.
Beautiful. A nice respite from our election debacle…which you are perfectly qualified to comment on. Better than many Americans. 😆
Thank you for not commenting on the U.S. elections. Would only undercut your credibility. Alex Berenson failed this test.
trump quote: "Well, I think if they win, I should get all the credit. If they lose, I should not be blamed at all.”
a stable genius, no question about it.
What a gorgeous cabin!
There are still some nice buildings in Dresden. They didn't get them all.

It's sad ... we're electing BRAIN DAMAGED senators (on top of geriatric Alzheimer’s patient for POTUS)
Either half of the country is braindead or there is very sophisticated election fraud going on

The sense of place, a sense that is hard to grasp
for a lifelong city dweller. You can tell it was dreamed
before it was built. Entry image is stunning.
I don't envy the rich, as long as I get to gaze upon their
houses (when they have taste. ) (or just nature with
houses underneath or built in hidden ways).

If these architectural masterpieces were here in the US, they would be destroyed.
I do not have much to say about our elections either.
I would love to have a boat with a cabin like this. .... well, maybe just the cute cabin.
Your photos are beautiful, thank you for sharing your adventure, and these lovely views!
Thank you! Cheered me up. I voted yesterday and they claimed to have been hacked and “moved” our county’s 1.7 million votes somewhere
Enjoyed the photographs. So much to see in each photograph and it seems great care has been taken to keep them striking
