New York City has the worldwide famous Central Park (335 hectares). London is the home for the classic Hyde Park (125 hectares). In comparison, Berlin’s Tiergarten (210 hectares) may be less high profile but the huge park does serve as the heart of Berlin.

I guess it is very proper to bring a Made-in-Germany Leica film camera (in my case, it’s Leica MP) to Berlin and take some shots of the Tiergarten. I chose #ilfordhp5plus400, which I also thought may be proper for photography in Europe.

It is all about light, especially when it comes to the black-and-white photography. A morning walk in the park can certainly refresh my mind, which helped me to catch some nice peaceful moments on my camera too.

Every city, big or small, deserves to have its own park, a park for Mother Nature, for our life, and for memory. Tiergarten is the one for Berlin.
