Going for black&white

I have not done much black&white photography, but a dpc-challenge sent me on a b/w mission. The conversion is done in Photoshop and as I might enter something into the challenge, I can't post any of the shots here untill later. But I did fool around with this shot a little bit. Winter came very suddenly on November 1st, but now it is getting warmer again; the weatherpeople say that we might get up to 15°C next week. Here I was, looking forward to a real winter, thinking it came early this year. A beautiful day it was and this shot was taken just before sunset.
