We move from Germanic East Anglia to eastern Germany now. This is part of the Zwinger, a baroque palace garden complex in Dresden for the rulers of Saxony. Stunningly beautiful.

From Germany to #Glasgow: this is the glorious Main 'Gilbert Scott' Building at the University of Glasgow (@UofGlasgow). It was largely built between the 1860s and 1880s. The #WW1 Memorial Chapel completed the west quadrangle in 1929.

The beautiful museum and art gallery of @KelvingroveArt is nearby. Built for the 1901 #Glasgow International Exhibition, it houses everything from prehistoric #archaeology to a #VanGogh!

The so-called '#Viking Raiders Stone', *possibly* depicting #Vikings attacking Lindisfarne, on display in @EnglishHeritage's Priory museum ⚔

Do not be like #Vikings: don't raid Lindisfarne and #StayHome

We return to @MHMDresden for this #WW2 P-51 Mustang that was downed over Germany in c.1944. Note the still-inflated tyre|tire.
