MEISSEN


There are cities in the state of Saxony that are even older than my home town Bautzen. Meißen is one of them and it was founded in 929. This view from the Albrechtsburg (Albrecht castle) across the Elbe River triggered my desire to make a panorama picture. Two images were merged in Adobe Lightroom, which took only a couple minutes, still unthinkable a few years ago.

Meißen is famous for its manufacture of porcelain. Meissen porcelain was the first high quality porcelain to be produced outside of the Orient.
