B&W

Gazing Beyond

Lemur, B&W, Tail

It’s all in the eyes. This ring-tailed lemur obviously had his mind on other things.  This is one picture, I think , is worth a thousand or so words.

What do you imagine he’s thinking about? Is he working calculus problems in his head?  Fondly remembering a long lost love? Thinking ahead of an upcoming vacation on a secluded, tropical island? Fresh bananas?

I don’t know exactly what he was thinking about.  Your guess is as good as mine.

Anglers in the Grey

B&W, Lighthouse, FishingThese anglers were at it early on a Saturday morning – fishing from the end of the Kewaunee, WI pier.

I’ve posted several other images taken on this same morning – in color and B&W.  See Early Amber Rising, Gold Rush,  Compelling Clouds over Kewaunee and Summertime Sunrise.

Compelling Clouds over Kewaunee

Monochrome, B&W, Kewaunee, Lighthouse, Lake Michigan
I was up early and on the beach one Saturday to catch the sunrise at Kewaunee, WI.

In addition to some nice sunlit images, (See Gold Rush and Early Amber Rising.) I also snapped a few in black & white mode. This one really captured the dynamic tonal range of the clouds above Lake Michigan, beyond the Kewaunee pier and lighthouse.

Power from On High

B&W, Monochrome, Lighthouse, Algoma, Lake Michigan, Clouds

A month ago I managed to snag a number of striking B&W images of the Algoma, WI lighthouse. I posted a few of them and moved on to other subjects. Yesterday’s interaction on this blog – comparing color and b&w images (Thank You, to all who commented) – reminded me of the bunch I had neglected. This image is from that forgotten bunch.

The powerful contrast between the upper right-hand corner and the lower left-hand corner, and the range of monochrome tones between, make this a favorite for me.

Fell free to share your own thoughts below and if you like what you see, by all means, share it with others.
