A young woman and a man sit on the Saale riverbank on the Peißnitz island, chatting — captured as silhouettes in the warm backlight of a summer afternoon. Sunlight glitters on the water surface of the Saale behind them, while overhanging branches and leaves form a natural frame. Shot with the Canon 70-200mm at 190mm, which compresses the intimate scene from a distance. A quiet summer moment on the river that captures the quality of life along the Saale.
