The harmony of the day
This weekend, I visited the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts' exhibition of stage and costume design at the Palais des Großen Gartens. The Great Garden, located in the heart of Dresden, covers approximately 2 square kilometers and combines Baroque elements with English landscape garden design. It was laid out in 1676 on the orders of the then Elector Johann Georg III, based on French models.
The weather had been dull and rainy all week, so I was waiting for sunshine, and the weekend blessed us all with it... sunshine and blue skies.
There is a park railway...
and three open-air theaters... this is the smallest – the Sun House – where puppet shows are performed. When my children were small, I rode my bike to the shows with them... very often... it was wonderful :-)))
Before I visited the art students' exhibition, I came to the dahlia garden on Fürstenallee...
Is this a dream?
It's a dream.
I enjoyed it and only photographed a small portion; there are over 60 different varieties.
This magpie also enjoys its kingdom.
I gave her some of my supplies - California almonds.
And... these are the wonderful works of the students...
And this is how my current work is progressing...
Today's task... enjoying the last wonderful days of this fall.
All the best to you all.
Viola
Dear Viola, thank you for the report about your days. Since it is autumn, the first things that caught my eyes were your photos of this season. The trees are beautiful, it is worth looking at them at this time of year. I usually walk in the forests, fortunately there are many near us. I can hardly walk, but recently I have decided to go out more for fresh air and the autumn view.
AntwortenLöschenI like your other pictures too, they exude peace and tranquility, as they always do. All the best to you. Éva
Her var det mange fine høstfarger! Georginer er så flotte! Min mor hadde så mange fargerike georginer foran huset sitt at det kom bilde av dem i avisen! :) Spennende kunst, klær og møstre også! Takk for at du deler!

Hej Viola!
AntwortenLöschenTack för att du delade ditt besök. Fantastiska höstfärger och vackra dahlior. Intressant utställning.
Hälsningar Marika
Bonjour Viola,
AntwortenLöschenJe suis sûre que vous avez beaucoup apprécié l'exposition, vous, qui êtes passionnée de couture et de tissus et le soleil était au rendez-vous ce qui ne gâche rien. De quoi vous donner des idées pour un prochain ouvrage ?
Les couleurs de l'automne sont magnifiques et on ne se lasse pas de les admirer tout comme les beaux dahlias.
Je vous souhaite une agréable fin de semaine et merci de votre visite.
Amitiés
Hélène
Beautiful flowers, Viola, and I love the trees in their autumn dress. What an interesting exhibition, especially being able to see construction details of some clothing.
AntwortenLöschenAn interesting exhibit, Viola, both inside and outside. The colours of autumn are a fitting complement to the vibrancy and creativity on display indoors. It’s great that you have been attending this show for so many years. Have a wonderful weekend. I know you will!
AntwortenLöschenThe dahlias are gorgeous. Such an interesting exhibit as well. My granddaughter would love that tutu.
AntwortenLöschenQuante cose belle nel tuo post ! Le dalie sono magnifiche , così come i colori dell'autunno !! Gli studenti sono stati bravissimi !! Saluti.
AntwortenLöschenWhat a wonderful colour bomb with all these gorgeous dahlias. The dresses are extremely innovative and very, very beautiful - artworks all of them.
AntwortenLöschenEven your quilt is a piece of art with its very unusual pattern. Well done.
PS. We've sort of the same car. Your Aygo, the Citroën C1 and my Peugeot 108 look the same and are made in the same factory. Mine is red too:-)
I enjoyed your autumn photos, the fashion display and especially seeing your latest quilt!!!
AntwortenLöschenHello Viola,
AntwortenLöschenNice post with wonderful and different pictures!!
Great to see that palace on your first picture. All with fantastic autumn coloes. And nice shots of the wonderful flowers.
And so special to see how these special and luxurious dresses are made. Very nice!!
And funny picture of that Park Railway. Very funny. When I stop with my own work as Cargo traindriver, I can do that job in the park...haha...!!
Many greetings,
Marco
What a stunning place the Palais des Großen Gartens is! The stage and costume design exhibitions looks well worth a visit, and I am swooning over the Dahlia garden, which is a dream indeed. Thank you for sharing your outing with us, Viola! xxx
AntwortenLöschenJust the weather to show everything beautifully..both indoors and out
AntwortenLöschenThat exhibit -- wow. Stage and costume design is one of my favorite topics in the theatre and seeing that -- and in such a fantastic setting -- would be amazing. Plus, it's beautiful outside too. I would have lost my mind with joy!
AntwortenLöschenKultur vom Feinsten!

I bet you have some great memories of taking your children to the puppet show there. All those flowers and fallen leaves are beautiful. The fashion, on the other hand, is a little beyond my comfort zone.
AntwortenLöschenServus Viola, Dresden würde ich auch gerne einmal besuchen. Schöne Parkanlagen und Blumen in herbstlichen Farben.
AntwortenLöschenLG aus Wien
That looks like such a wonderful day out and interesting exhibition. I think I would have loved to see it. YOur quilt is looking so good.

Sucede mucho en toda Europa y también aquí en Sevilla, que donde hay jardines o parques diseñados por franceses de la época, los edificios principales a veces quedan eclisados por la belleza y diseño de los mismos, como en este caso que nos muestras.
AntwortenLöschenAquí tenemos algunos, pero el más importante es el Parque de María Luisa, diseñado por Nicolás Forestier.
Me alegro de que halláis disfrutado de un bonito día, y también me ha gustado mucho esa exposición de diseño hecho por estudiantes, con prendas sorprendentemente creativas y originales.
Un fuerte abrazo, amiga Viola.
Ich war schon öfter in Dresden. Aber den Dahliengarten kannte ich bisher nicht. Wunderschön. Den Besuch sollte ich unbedingt nachholen.
AntwortenLöschenDie Ausstellung der Kunststudenten mit ihren herrlichen Kostümen ist schon allein eine Reise wert.
Herzlichst
Anette
Thank you for sharing your visit with us! The gardens, the architecture and the grounds are so beautiful. I love seeing the artists’ creations. They are exquisite!
AntwortenLöschenWhat a wonderful trip! I love the flowers, and the red leaves!!....What a nice coffee for that experience!......Abrazotes, Marcela
AntwortenLöschenFor en opplevelse det må ha vært! Så vakre høstfarger og flotte områder å være i. Her har det kommet litt snø på verandaen i kveld. Vinterdekk på bilen i morgen......

Todo bonito e interesante. Besos.
AntwortenLöschenHej, jag heter Jenny. Jag är här ute för att sprida dessa goda nyheter till hela världen om hur jag fick tillbaka mitt ex. Jag höll på att bli galen när min kärlek lämnade mig för en annan tjej förra månaden, men när jag träffade en vän som presenterade mig för Baba Wale, den store budbäraren, berättade jag mitt problem för Baba Wale om hur mitt ex lämnade mig och även hur jag behövde få ett jobb på ett mycket stort företag. Han sa bara till mig att jag hade kommit till rätt ställe där jag skulle få mitt hjärtas önskningar uppfyllda utan några biverkningar. Han berättade för mig vad jag behövde göra. Efter det ringde min älskling mig inom två dagar och bad om ursäkt för att jag hade levt för länge sedan, och även veckan efter att min älskling ringde mig för att be om förlåtelse blev jag kallad till en intervju på det företag jag önskade mig, där jag skulle arbeta som handledare. Jag är så glad och överväldigad att jag måste berätta detta för hela världen om hur Baba Wale hjälpte mig att uppfylla mitt hjärtas önskningar. Baba Wale är specialist på alla typer av trollformler och god magi. Om du behöver någon form av hjälp, kontakta Baba Wale på följande e-postadress: babawalewiseman01@gmail.com WhatsApp +16452205737 Viber: +18594463868 Tacka mig senare
