Köln (Cologne) 🇩🇪

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

I was in the mood to take my good old Fujifilm X-E2 out on a date today, so I did! Unfortunately, my 23mm lens had some issues, so I paired it with the 50mm instead. That combo requires a city with enough ‘room’ for a full-frame equivalent 77mm field of view – so Cologne it was!

Camera:
Fujifilm X-E2

Camera lens:
Fujinon XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Durbuy 🇧🇪

Durbuy is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

The story

Just a quick stroll through cold, sunny Durbuy on this Friday the 13th, nearly six years since my last visit – this time with the mighty manual 35mm Mitakon, offering a nifty fifty-equivalent field of view. I should have brought a wider lens, as the Mitakon feels a bit too compressed.

München (Munich) 🇩🇪

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

Today is a rest day, so there aren’t many pictures or miles to cover. Saving some energy for the concert tonight!

Olavinlinna, Savonlinna 🇫🇮

By far the most famous story of Olavinlinna is the tragic love story of the Finnish maiden.

The daughter of the castle’s Lord was in love with a Russian soldier and one night she opened the castle gate to let him in. But she was betrayed by her lover when he brought more soldiers with him. The Russian forces were fought off and the traitorous lover was killed in the attack. The maiden was sentenced to death for treason and buried alive in the wall of the courtyard.

Shortly afterwards a rowan tree grew on the burial spot and the white flowers which bloomed on the tree were said to be symbolic of the girl’s innocence.
