Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Heads or Facial Features (human or animal)

My black and white photos this week are all of children’s faces, nothing textured about them. They were all taken at a wedding, the day was very hot and it was getting late in the afternoon. I find that the monochrome version of these shots focus the viewer on the faces of the children and their expressions.
This little girl has the most amazing eyes, and I like the way they shine even in the b&w version of the picture.

This is her brother.

And some very serious contemplation of the proceedings by this beauty.

We were in the south western corner of Germany this weekend, almost in France. On our hike we came across these most unusual sculptures – not made out of cut wood but out of tree stumps. Because of this these “spirits of the forest” are naturally camouflaged. I found it a pity that the artist thought he had to make his work more visible by adding colour, I like the idea of them blending in the forest even at the cost of maybe missing some of them.

I like the fact that the wood is still changing, splitting and finally rotting.

But if you are alone in these woods – beware of crocodile!



A road in the Rhein Plain in early spring with the hills of the Odenwald in the back – a view to end all feeling of homesickness – at least for me.
Eine Straße in der Rheinebene im Frühling mit den Bergen des Odenwalds im Hintergrund – zumindest für mich ein Anblick, der jedes Heimweh verscheucht.

To flash or not to flash.

All the ones above were taken at night.
Here, for a completely different feel:
