Wednesday walk on the island of New Holland

The island was closed to the public all the time of lockdown. We were looking forward to the opening moment very much, and it finally happened. I think that New Holland Island is one of the best places for city walks. Here you can lie on the grass and look up at the sky. Here you can sit on a comfortable lounge chair and read a book. Here you can admire beautiful flowers and herbs. Here you can play ping-pong, petanque, chess and many other games. And if you feel that it's time for food, you can choose between ice cream with a cup of coffee, a burger and a full lunch: cafes, coffee shops and restaurants will be found for every taste.

Note that the color and black and white photos are similar, but different. The stories are slightly different and the color or B/W is selected during processing, because this color mode is better suited for this particular photo. Literally two scenes didn't have that choice, these pictures are unpaired. And one photo is still present in B&W and color, the color variant is a little bit redundant, but it helped me to compose the post better.
