We took a morning walk from our apartment building at Charlottehaven to the Kastellet (Star Fortress) and then into Copenhagen for morning tea at the Design Museum. Passing the Ivar Huitfeldt Column, Gefion Fountain and St. Alexander Nevsky Church along the way.
Tallinn Old Town is one the best preserved medieval towns in Europe, with cobble stoned streets, intact medieval walls and towers, St Olaf’s Church (1267), Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (1900) with it’s iconic onion domes, The Parliament Of Estonia (a 13th century castle) and the Telegraph Hotel (housed in the old Estonian Telegraph building, 1878). No wonder it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Varenna is in the centre of Lake Como, on the eastern shores of the lake. It’s a gorgeous little village and was quite stunning on a bright and sunny winter day.
I had my camera, but only a roll of ISO 400 film and there was too little light to shoot by hand. I thought I’d try out pushing it to 800. Like so many photos of this time, the streets and station were eerily quiet. I like the dark blacks and the washed out highlights.
These photos are from my very first roll of black and white film, shot as an assignment for a Black & White Photography course, where I learnt to develop and print B&W film.
In January 2018 we spent a week in Menaggio on Lake Como. On a day trip to Veronna on the other side of the lake the windows, doors and gates captured my eye and my camera’s attention.
