Dresden
Wednesday, February 11th, 2015..May 2011.. ..Dresden..
Walking up the hill across from the Slaughterhouse where Kurt Vonnegut was during the bombardment of Dresden.
Many years after Dresden was destroyed tons of stone debris from the baroque city was cleared to numerous sites around the edge of the city. The majority of the rubble was buried under this massive hill.
On sun splashed spring afternoon it’s hard to imagine that it was created from the horrors of war. Underneath the grass the memories of a once glorious city and pieces of people’s lives uncomfortably rest.
