Flare? what flare?

My brother was showing me his new apartment and I stepped out onto his
little balcony where a former occupant had put chicken wire against
the pigeons' attempts to come aboard. I shot nearly directly into the
sun and got a nearly completely washed-out shot that I
blue-filter-converted into b&w -- rather pleasant, I think. In a
continuing holiday from film, this was taken with the Fujifilm X100.
I'll be back to film soon enough.
