Hey @TorM,

Really nice shots! I've never been to Leipzig but judging from your photos, it's really beautiful. I'd love to visit at some point. 🙂

Good morning @TorM,

Thank you so so much for finding the time to make this post! The architecture and the photographs are incredible, I'm really impressed. The though that Leipzig can be so beautiful haven't really crossed my mind. I should probably start planning a trip to Germany soon.

Best,
