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.
