St.Petersburg .:. feb 2022 .:. 8 B+W etudes
Here are some shots from today's walk across the local park. It was sunny and not cold, the Spring is already in the air (but ofc it all can change very dramatically, a dozen times). B-W conversion was added in photoshop.
Wintertime bird's life is hard. But the pigeons are used to it - they are well-known survivalists.
A young snowdrops enthusiast, surrounded by his parents. This was my entry to 'Black and white photography & art' contest by @axeman — week #103. Below is uncropped version:
The snow is melting, melting... but there are still a huge snow and ice and dirt caps everywhere.
The snow is not a problem for cyclists. Well, of course it is, but still it does not stop us from cycling in wintertime.
Frozen ground under a bench.
...and said bench. Our park still have installed those old-fashioned soviet epoch wooden benches. Reliable construction, highly usable and reparable!
Another remnant of a soviet epoch. Guess what it is?
It was my 1st candidate for this week's B+W contest, but after some meditation I changed my entry to the kid in the very start of the post... maybe, this will goes for one of the next rounds.
