It’s the first weekend after my holiday, so I felt the need to get out and take some pictures – this time in Tongeren again. I hadn’t used the Kodak Max 800 film simulation recipe or my 50mm f/2 lens in a long time, so now’s the perfect moment to do so!

Salzburg 🇦🇹

Salzburg is the fourth-largest city in Austria. The town is on the site of the Roman settlement of Iuvavum.

The story

Today, I left the very nice city of Bratislava, Slovakia, and headed for Salzburg, Austria. I passed through Hungary because, why not? The first part of the day was spent on the highway, and for the last 200 km / 125 miles, I avoided highways to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Alps before entering Salzburg. I ended the day with some night shots of this (also) nice city!

Oh, and I accidentally created a movie poster for The Omen Part 666… Can you guess which one?
