Kostnice v Sedlci 🇨🇿

The Sedlec Ossuary is a Roman Catholic chapel, located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, part of the former Sedlec Abbey in Sedlec, a suburb of Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic.

The story

A long trip avoiding highways to enjoy as much scenery as possible, from Prague to Bratislava, with a stop at the Sedlec Ossuary. Unfortunately, photography is prohibited, and even with my stealth photography skills, it was impossible to trick the lady watching the security cams. So, just enjoy the scenery outside!

Nürnberg 🇩🇪

Nuremberg is the largest city in Franconia, the second-largest city in the German state of Bavaria, and the 14th-largest city in Germany. The city is surrounded on three sides by the Reichswald, a large forest, and in the north lies Knoblauchsland, an extensive vegetable growing area and cultural landscape.

The story

First day of my holiday… but the destination is a surprise! My first stop is Nürnberg. It’s a hot day in this beautiful city, full of history. Of course, I had to visit Zeppelinfield, where Uncle A. gave his speeches. To make it look authentic, I used the Kodak Tri-X 400 film simulation recipe along with the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.8, shot wide open.

Booch? 🇳🇱
