Gorgeous b&w, Bonita.  I love the subject matter, and the contrast you got here is terrific!

Another one from the same area.

Oooohh!  I like that one too!  There's something to be said for familiarity.  This landscape fits my internal view of what the world should look like, and it's such a satisfying thing to view!

Thanks Tara,  I really love the S Dakota shot  it reminds me of home (Kansas).

@ Bonita ... I once knew, but tell me again what part of Kansas?  We were just there in May, and I might have something even closer to home!  :)

Hey Tara, I grew up in Wichita, my husband from Florence Ks.  But relatives all over. So any flat  piece of Ks would work lol..

This one is for Bonita:  We drove from Council Grove to Strong City, through Emporia and Ottawa to Paola on May 2nd this year.  This is Hwy 177 between Council Grove and the Tallgrass Preserve.  And yes, that's snow in Kansas in May!  :)  I love this part of Kansas.  It's beautiful, even in the snow!

Superb upload Tara.

Kansas where the roads go on forever..I miss it but wouldn't trade all these trees for all that flat lol.  I love this Tara and the snow just adds to the "lonesome highway" feel.

@ Bonita - Me too.  I love Kansas, but Washington is home.  I get a little antsy when I get too far away from salt water and tall trees.  :)

 

@ 3DGuy - love the pov!  That's outstanding!

3dguy this one makes me dizzy looking at it.  It has such great geomentric and almost a mirror fx.

I know it's a bit fast to post another one, but I missed the 1st 2 weeks of the month :)

A new week and Two new captures for this challenge.

My first a moon capture captured with my fujifilm super zoom.

Cropped the picture.

Did some noise removal.

Converted to gray scale using irfanview.

Clicked on auto contrast in Picasa 3 to get the black effect of the background and the moon pure white.

My second a capture of a white Poppy in a garden which is situated on route to the offices where my wife is working.

Converted to gray scale using Irfan view.

Blessed day and week.

God bless.

I must apologise for my lack of contact.  Work has been hectic and time consuming.

I will only be able to get to the new Forum Challenge for August sometime over the weekend.

A few more days for Monochrome!

Apologies again,
Clive
