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!

Old Town, Edinburgh Vaults, Edinburgh 🇬🇧

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and one of its 32 council areas. Historically part of the county of Midlothian, it is located in Lothian on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth. Edinburgh is Scotland’s second-most populous city and the seventh-most populous city in the United Kingdom.

The Edinburgh Vaults or South Bridge Vaults are a series of chambers formed in the nineteen arches of the South Bridge in Edinburgh, Scotland, was part of the South Bridge Act 1785 and was completed in 1788. For around 30 years, the vaults were used to house taverns, workshops for cobblers and other tradesmen, as well as storage space for said merchants.


St Peter’s Church, Chillingham 🇬🇧

Tucked into a wooded setting beside the entrance to Chillingham Castle stands the attractive Norman church of St Peter. Though the church was begun in the 12th century, very little remains of the earliest building and much of what we see today dates to the 15th century.
