Durbuy 🇧🇪

Durbuy is a city and municipality of Wallonia located in the province of Luxembourg, Belgium.

The story

Just a quick stroll through cold, sunny Durbuy on this Friday the 13th, nearly six years since my last visit – this time with the mighty manual 35mm Mitakon, offering a nifty fifty-equivalent field of view. I should have brought a wider lens, as the Mitakon feels a bit too compressed.
