München 🇩🇪

Munich is the capital and most populous city of the Free State of Bavaria. It is the third-largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, and thus the largest which does not constitute its own state, as well as the 11th-largest city in the European Union. The city's metropolitan region is home to about six million people.

The story

Going south, I enjoyed a stroll across nature, visited a graveyard, and experienced the Christmas market – the biggest one I’ve ever seen!

Köln 🇩🇪

Cologne is the largest city of Germany's most populous state of North Rhine-Westphalia and it is the most populous city of both the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Region and the Rhineland.

The story

Another test run with the 60-year-old Flek, this time combined with the 10-year-old X-E2. Everything shot wide open to get the most vintage look as possible, this time in rainy Cologne.
