Trier 🇩🇪

Trier is a city on the banks of the Moselle in Germany. It lies in a valley between low vine-covered hills of red sandstone in the west of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, near the border with Luxembourg and within the important Moselle wine region.

The story

Testing my “new” lens, the Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 35mm f/2.8, according to its serial number, built somewhere between 1961 and 1964. Shot wide open for the most vintage look possible and in black and white, where the lens excels.
