Winter Night in the City

Photographed by on

Late winter night in Halle: a woman in a long coat hurries past snow-covered bicycle racks in front of a massive stone wall. Only the sparse glow of a single street light lifts the scene from darkness — footprints in fresh snow, arched windows of a Gründerzeit building, and a pedestrian crossing sign tell the story of quiet city life after midnight. Fun fact: at first glance, she appears to have four legs — she was actually walking in perfect sync with a second person whose steps fell in exact unison.
