Watching German victory from the Ebe

After slurping a so-so 8Euro Pho Bo from Altmarkt, incidentally, a recommendation by the owner of a Vietnamese provision shop, I rushed off to the Ebe to capture the mood of the World Cup game, Germany's first game in 2010. As I approached the river- there was a reverberating roar bouncing off the darkened brick walls of the various buildings - I guessed Germany must have scored ....

There were not too many people - Dresden is not that big after all, and many people were unable to enter the via the small gate leading to the giant screen.
It was pretty chilly ; I was wearing shorts - and soon shivering, despite this being mid summer. Soon, I was back in the car and back to the hotel.
Shot this on one of the bridges across Ebe.

As it turned out, the young Germany team thrashed Australia 4-0. Pretty unusual for a team known for boring conservative play.
