Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #235: Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome
Some of these photos you may have seen before but they were in colour. A few favourite shadow photos plus some new ones
The Frangipanni tree
the fence post
a magical cast
wonders for free

Looking ahead
seeing behind
travelling at speed
being lead

Look but seeing
thinking
puzzling
about being

Now you see
come sit
almost lunchtime
you and me

A Wagtail there
crumbs perhaps
or splash
look elsewhere

See within
reflect without
inside counts
easy win

Looking deep
no escape
spirals of reality
just sleep

Contentment lies
balance again
light and dark
truth and lies

Moored again
await adventure
reflecting
loss and pain

Put things back
together
repair
no black

Little steps
some are up
some are down
finding depths

Finding peace
and harmony
relax
thoughts cease

There’s magic
look
wonder of nature
just magic

I am sorry that this took so long for you to get through. It started and for once I let myself get carried away.
Originally there photo of the reeds was the last one then words needed photos and photos needed words. Thanks for getting this far 🤗
Lots of excellent ones here, Brian, but my favorite is the one of the table and chairs.

I bet. I set mine up last weekend once the theme was announced. I wish it would be announced in advance every week.

I look at that but forget like Cee has all hers in advance for the month and CitySonnet, Maria, has the whole month mapped out!

Wow, Brian. A wonderful collection. I love it! The table and chairs and the boat are my favorites here, but there are many others that I admire. Your monochrome shots are very powerful.

Thank you Patti. Glad you have favourites. I enjoy monochrome probably as I grew up with my early photos that were only in B&W. All I could afford 🙂

Should have, but opted to do the washing and have a lazyish day and lunch with friends. Yesterday was hard going up in the hills so I’ve sent himself off without me!

The table and chairs were a surprise following the abstract photo ahead of it. The flower in the water was so delicate, and spoke peacefulness. And the boat was fantastic in monochrome. Very nice selections. This was fun wasn’t it?
