Today was windy, but not too cold. Either way, the St. Thomas Church was open and mainly empty. Bach practiced the organ here and the church does frequent recitals. I recommend visiting if you are ever in Leipzig.

Was a good week. I’m heading to the airport in 10 minutes for a noon flight, but managed to get in half an hour of sketching after breakfast. I like this building. It’s a little quirky and romantic. The balconies
Chun Yueng St. revisited – painting
