In the early morning along the Danube River, sunlight bathes the red rooftops and Gothic spires of Regensburg’s old town, their reflections gently rippling on the water’s surface. The scene—where city, boats, and nature blend seamlessly—unfolds in quiet dignity. With his signature attention to subtle urban moments, photographer Hans Xu captures this tranquil awakening. The sounds of flowing water, birdsong, and the crisp click of the shutter create an intimate rhythm, drawing the viewer into the serene harmony of a city and its natural surroundings.
