Thus, quite a few people were resting on garden chairs, scattered on the park’s central lawn. At least I could see the sun at all – already a rather special occasion these days. Whereas spring bursts with life and light, autumn is a pompous farewell, to be followed by months of cold, grey and short days.Īround four o’clock, the sun was pretty low. Autumn, however, carries this sweet melancholy in it. As phases of transition, I find both spring and autumn exiting. At the end of October, the colorfulness had reached its peak. And yeah, the park wouldn’t disappoint me. I chose the Hannover city park as I wanted to see a less common flora in its autumn costumes. I still try to see the situation as a challenge and a chance: revisiting places I’ve been many times before, peeling the onion and taking home some new impressions – even if they are relatively insignificant. Well inside this circle sits our city park, less than four kilometers away from my house.


Apart from some rare and short family visits, my whole life has been taking place at home – and within a radius I’m fit enough to reach by bike. Since the outbreak of Covid, I have been avoiding travelling as much as I can. I’m totally new to TLRs but I can already say that I really enjoy the shooting experience with them! So I’m happy to show you now five frames I took at the Hannover city park (“Stadtpark”), some of the first frames taken with my Rolleiflex 2.8E ever.
