Description

The Upper Pleasure Gardens above Coy Pond are looking quite bleak and wintery at present. A little sunshine will make all the difference. See this bench in colour Here

Sometimes the winter gloom can make those most beautiful of locations look rather bleak, I guess nature needs some respite too. I love the difference between the two versions, the monochrome version makes it look raw and very bleak and the colour one actually brings back the seasonal spirit of the true scene, in the colour one we see the mossy nature of the stone bench and other things whilst the Monochrome proves what an impact B&W makes and why it's so widely used by photographers seeking that gritty raw bleak impact.

I like it in mono best. It keeps the winter mood better, somehow. Before I saw who did this, of course I thought it was Denise's. :)

A sad image as if someone who used to sit there is no more. Terrific atmosphere. Perhaps the passing of Louise is on my mind.

LOL @ Ronnie! Old lady indeed! Well I DO like this, I haven't got many good bench shots lately, and I don't remember getting any of this particular bench when I was there...I like the mono, it does enhance the texture of the bench itself so nicely!
