Ex-Jewish Quarter Trier
« on: July 12, 2016, 16:57:20 »

Apparently this lane was the only entrance to the one time Jewish Quarter in Trier, in the evening a chain was put across the arch and all Jewish people had to be at home when this action took place. No longer the Jewish area!

Nice story-telling scene. I like the colours, very much looks like Fuji's. :)

I had a XT-10 for a few months, sold it due to severe NAS.
There's something soothing about Fuji's colours. Sometime their in-camera JPEGs are so damn good, I can never get such colours in PP. :)

Great shot and story Mike - hope you are enjoying your switch to lighter but highly capable gear  :)
I'm also glad to see you get out and use it - hope it means you are getting better.

Thank you very much Lars, I've waited for about 6 months to start using the Fuji gear which I like immensely.

Also thankfully my health is improving, a daily basis albeit in small steps, but hey I can wait! Many thanks for your kind thoughts!!!

Mike, glad to know you are getting better.  Maybe it would be a bit too early to go into one of these depicted here, though.  :)
