And I didn’t even need to convert it to black & white! The monochrome tones were provided by the weather, all I needed to do was to boost the contrast.
It’s a small village, no organised activity for the youth. I guess overturning a bus shelter will do, for the lack of any better things to do. Not that the shelter has been in use for years. I don’t know when the bus stopped coming to Föne but I’m guessing it was a long time…
Trying out the third lens that I got with the new camera. Although of course I’m already familiar with this particular lens, the Tokina 11-16/2.8. The CA is as bad as I remember, and everything else is as good as I remember. It’s ridiculous how much I like this lens and I’ve learned my lesson…

It’s been cold enough for the snow to stick around.
