731st Show & Tell Competition: Close to Home

[peterschmidtab]

One of my favorite things about photography is the ability to weave it into every day life, no need to go far or to a certain place, just go for a walk. This competition is about photos taken close to the place you call home, within walking distance.
Cheers

I live close to Visla river, just 15 minutes on foot. Along the way there is an old church, built in 1518. This is my frequent walking destination.
