Small boats at a mountain hut above the treeline

I went to a mountain hut above the treeline with an old film camera and no particular plan. I kept a paper notebook this time, writing down the time and the light for every roll.

I tried a few long exposures, but the wind had other ideas. The handheld shots turned out better anyway. An elderly couple asked me to take their picture. I used their phone, then made one frame of them on mine.

Most of the morning went into watching small boats; I took fewer frames than usual, but each one felt deliberate. By noon the crowds arrived, so I walked further along the path, where small boats were still undisturbed.

I will probably come back in a few weeks, when the season turns.
