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.
