Taken with Leica M9

My home town. A small village approx. 1 hour west of Oslo.

Thanks for the comments. Kongsberg has a population of 20.000 and has city status here in Norway. But after American standars I'd imagine it's village size :)

RE: Population and village designation...

I think the interpretation of those terms really varies around the country here. I live in a state that isn't nearly so populous as others, so my standards are very different. I'm familiar with many "towns" that contain 1-200 people, just within a couple hours drive of my house. My city, which has around 130,000 (including the university population of approx. 25,000) is considered a large city by Colorado standards, but isn't necessarily all that large for other states. Heck, look at Nebraska- one of its sports stadiums becomes the third largest city in the state, come gameday... while Wyoming, my neighbor state to the north, which only has two cities larger than 50,000 (with third largest having 28) yet is 77% the size of all of Norway.
It's all based on where you reside, over here. ;)

Looking a both photos I prefer the deep colors of this one. Beautiful view btw. and nice with that chain on the foreground.

I wonder what the Iphone photo would look like with a bit of a curves adjustment to bring down that sky a bit?
The placid water is really nice though. How big is your village in terms of population?

This is nice. The blues are really rich and deep compared to the iPhone. The clarity and sharpness are outstanding. Nice scene too BTW. like the reflection, very still water. The chain and post also adds to some foreground interest.
