The theme for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week is birds.  I’ve decided to go with selective colour although in the last picture of the Canada goose it was difficult to find any colour in the animal itself.

Here are more monochrome photos of birds.

20 traces b (640x480)

Paula over at Black & White Sunday was asking once again for traces of the past and posted a beautiful shot of Bamburgh Castle on the north east coast of England. I decided to go closer and show a close up of a stones, in this case of the portcullis of a castle’s entrance, in this case of — Bamburgh Castle on the north east coast of England.

Objects or People older than 50 years for Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge.

The featured people are older than 50 but their clothes  – traditional German costumes from the south-western part – often are too, truly so or re-created.  Obviously, I have a penchant for hats.  The men all wear the traditional form called tricorne or cocked hat which was worn by older, more well-to-do burghers.
