Sint-Truiden 🇧🇪

Sint-Truiden is a city and municipality located in the province of Limburg, Flemish Region, Belgium, near the towns of Hasselt and Tongeren.

The story

After a busy, noisy day in Brussels, today was the time to slow down and take a calm walk on a sunny day, manually focusing the Mitakon lens on the widely praised X-E2 with its amazing sensor. A new film simulation recipe today: on sunny days, black and white always looks good, especially with a red filter effect. I even spotted some angry birds today!
