  1. Are you sure this isn't a scene from the Wizard of Oz, before it goes technicolor? Such a lovely landscape capture. Nice natural frame to the scene.

  2. hi lenora:
    I took this photo this morning while I stood on my favourite spot overlooking the river. I have been experimenting with using a B&W setting and was pleased with the results myself. I appreciate your comment.

    Lovely contrast between the bare twigs and the leafy twigs, and between the trees and the sky.

  11. Wow, when your photo first popped up I felt like I was falling into an old silver screen movie. I half expected Gregory Peck to come canoing around the corner. I love all the silver and gray tones you caugth with this photo. It's wonderfully composed and well shot!

  14. B&W is very effective here. Somehow it reminds me of my endless childhood summers when we used to look up at the clouds and name shapes.
