I still remember visiting Gendarmenmarkt that peaceful May morning in 2022. The way the golden light touched the French Cathedral felt magical, and I couldn’t resist capturing it with my Sony Alpha. It’s amazing to think how much has changed since then, with the square undergoing reconstruction. I hope it finally reopens this year so we can all experience its beauty again. Moments like these remind me why I love exploring and photographing places like this.
