The weather is getting colder and colder because of a cold wind from Siberia. Though the sky was completely cloudless the colour tone was wonderful warm, despite of the freezing temperature. My father and I cycled to the other side of the town to shout silhouettes from the historic centre of my beautiful town, Middelburg. In a few years their will be build a few flats and a new provincial road so I have to go here while I still can. I am going to return to this place again when there's a stunning cloud full sky, I promise. Perhaps I should have taken my film camera with me, but I forgot that. I could have taken a great double exposure. First of the silhouette, and later of a great evening sky. I'll remember it for later.

Taking this photograph was more a challenge than it seems. The sun was too bright to look directly in the viewfinder so it was hard to make a good composition. And it was cold...very cold. I wasn't able to keep my gloves on, but perhaps I am going to buy lowepro's photographers gloves. I might be able to get them cheap through my work.
I tried to keep my diaphragm small, but not to small to get nice hard edges. When you view the photograph on it's original size you can see great contours in the tower, and that will look great on a large print. Perhaps I am going to use this shot in my upcoming exposition.

Edit: straightend up the tower. But it's just a wonky old tower .
