Postcard Friday Nr. 14

Picking up where I left off in the Dresden series last Friday with the works of Gustav Frölich, we look at another bridge that was found on several postcards. Yet this bridge no longer exists as it was a victim of World War II. The bridge we are presenting here is the Carola Bridge (D: Carolabrücke), spanning the River Elbe just west of the Albertbrücke. It’s adjacent to the Church of our Lady…

[elbdot]

How do you pronounce your username? For some reason, I mistakenly read 'elbdot' with the b and d reversed so it went like 'el-de-bot'.

So maybe it's 'el-be-dot' ? Or the b is almost silent so its like 'elblem-dot' but without the 'lem'? I dunno.

LMAO that seems to happen a lot :'D I've been receiving multiple messages over the years of people misreading the name "elbdot" as "eldbot" and I can see the confusion, it happens xD

If you wanna know the correct pronounciation, it's just "elb-dot"! ELB are my full inicials and dot was added for fun like if I'd shorten my last name / keep it anonymous as in "Eleanor B." <- but the dot is spelled out, you know what I mean? :D

But calling me El is just fine :D
