His detailed account, enriched with personal observations and event photography, captures the essence of Lange's craftsmanship and the allure of Dresden during the festive season.
It was my first stay in Dresden during the Xmas period! Honestly, I was a bit afraid by the negative temperatures and by the difficulties to move in the city due to the snow. But in Saxony, it is not like in Paris, snow is not such mysterious thing which paralyses everything. I was very seduced by the Xmas atmosphere in Dresden.
