In the spotlight ⭐

🚶

Stolberg 🇩🇪

Stolberg is a town in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It has a long history as an industrial town and belongs to the district Aachen and the lower district court of Eschweiler.

The story 📖

Testing my newly acquired, second-hand, 10-year-old Samsung NX Mini camera with the 9mm lens attached!
I needed a quiet, calm place to get acquainted with the device, so I decided to visit Burg Stolberg on this overcast day. I selected the “Retro” setting in the camera’s Picture Wizard, with a few tweaks of my own. It’s a kind of film simulation recipe, giving the photos a hint of sepia—just enough to feel vintage, though I can’t say exactly which era it evokes.
Unfortunately, my GPS tracker didn’t record, so no step mileage today.
