Dresden

Original - Image of Dresden, Germany during the 1890s before World War II damage.

Reason

The German Wikimedia chapter made an announcement yesterday that the University of Dresden library has agreed to release 250,000 images from its collection directly to Wikimedia Commons. This restoration is a way of saying thank you: a high resolution view of the city before very extensive damage during World War II. Here's hoping it passes the exacting standards of FPC.

  • All man-made structures seem to be level. I think it's the terrain in the background that give the illusion of tilt. ~ ωαdεstεr16_«talk^stalk» 20:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
