When life was different

I took new photos of something old.  Michelstadt is a quaint little town in the Odenwald, the lower mountain range to the east of the Upper Rhine Valley.  The old houses, particularly the half timbered ones, are so well suited to monochrome photography because of their contrasting structures.  These photos are of the town wall encircling the inner part of the town.  I chose a filter, inexplicably called “bandicoot” in my editing program, which is not as stark as black and white, yet not as mellow as sepia.

This is for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything new.

I like experimenting in monochrome but I don’t like robbing flowers off their colours.  So for Cee’s challenge I made it so that I couldn’t see the original colours but chose a picture from a series of monochromes.  To check up after I had made my choice I looked at the coloured version and I just can’t not show it:

I just had to include him with all those feet and hands on him.  In fairness, he normally doesn’t dress like this (or so I’m told) – this was after a run where we had to swap tops at some point and he was apparently short (sic!) changed.
