I saw the first picture and said ‘oooh I want to see that up close’ and then saw the second picture!

Thank you, Sheila. I felt like I had to include both or neither of them to make sense.

Yeah! Although less sense for me but satisfaction 💚

Happy 50th Susanne! I'm weeks away from turning 50 too. By all accounts, I hear being 50-something is pretty great! Thanks for this lovely set. Always appreciate you sharing your visual world captured so beautifully :)

Thank you, Daphne! So far it is not much different than 49. Which isn't a bad thing. Age brings calmness, peace and wisdom with it, which I really enjoy.

Happy Birthday, Susanne! You are just entering your prime, so enjoy it. I, on the other hand, will turn 70 this summer. I am enjoying being a grandmother of a 2- and 4-year-old. Each phase of life has its benefits.

I love your photos of pathways, pavedways and stairways. They all beckon.

Thank you, Marlee! I agree, every passage has it benefits. I enjoy not being 20 anymore.

The photos were taking in a neighborhood which is built along a hillside. So many stairs and ups and downs for me that day!

Enjoy the birthday week!

I find it fascinating that these photos still hold a monochromatic quality to them. I don't know what it is, the light treatment maybe, but they still feel like they're your usual black and white.

Thank you, Xavi! I think it might has something to do how shift the colours around. I like them a bit more settled.

Maybe, I don't know but you've reached a very difficult thing to do. Usually photographers have a recognisable style either in colour or in monochrome. But to make both styles similar in style and aesthetic is complicated.

I take that as a compliment. Thanks so much for this feedback!

Everything is green now, and yet its already the summer solstice. At 50 we uprooted and moved from Scotland to the US and started a whole new adventure. Enjoy your birthday and many more trips around the sun…keep chasing the light..

Wow, that is quite the move: Scotland to Florida. Not sure, if I would want to live in Florida, but I hope you are happy there. I will visiting FL in November for the first time.

A lovely set of images Susanne - I especially like those taken in the Hirschpark. We lived in Blankenese (sadly, not in the treppenviertel) and were only about 10 mins walk from the Hirschpark - and visited it often - I do miss it.

We have so many beautiful parks in Hamburg. The Hirschpark is a little treasure. I am glad you enjoyed the little walk around your old neighborhood. I live in Othmarschen and I usually walk to the Jenischpark which is my favorite park. I can‘t believe we were almost neighbors once!

Happy early birthday! I am approaching that crazy number next year….

Lovely photos as usual, but I like especially number 10. The mood and tones/colors are beautiful!

Thank you, Manuela! It‘s funny how time flies and at the same time one feels that it doesn‘t…

Great photographs! I'm turning 60 later this year and I'm still trying to comprehend that. An early Happy Birthday to you!
