Warren's European Vacation






		So we ended up by the Palace Residence. No, I don't
		complete understand what it means. Is this for the staff,
		maybe? Let me know if you do.

		In the first picture is the mall area that is used for a
		major Christmas market that ended, naturally, just before
		I got there.

		Looking up I noticed that it had some pretty fancy artwork
		over the arches.

		On the other side of the building shown here on the right
		hand side was a ceramic mural that depicted the leaders in
		Dresden's history for the last thousand years or so. Each
		ceramic tile used in the mural is unique, no mass
		production here. Each tile is about 16 inches square.
