Taken while wandering around at a Sunday morning market in city of  Ghent in Belgium. I loved this couple deep in conversation checking out the old postcards. The guy looks like a great character to me. I didn’t want to get too close so this is a heavily cropped shot.The D800 makes it easy to do with the large image files it produces.

…that sees what lies ahead,
a reflective moment before entering the grand expanse of water.
Time to savor the calm within.

I took this shot an an abbey in Belgium this past autumn. I really didn’t think much of it until I got home and put it up on my screen. There are just so many contrasts and textures in this shot I just wanted to share it. What makes the shot for me is the grain in the water butt and the stone wall. The watering can just adds a little something to the shot.The ferns providing a soft framework.

The Fab four. Ok in Lego but still fun all the same. This was a table top shot of a present my sister sent me for my birthday just before Christmas. I’ve always been a fan and if you are too look for the Yellow Submarine set next time you surf Amazon 😉

Just before the festive season washes over us I’d just like to take the time to say a big thank you to all the contributors, and guest contributors here at Monochromia. I know I’m not too good and answering e-mails and I’m a bit slow at answering comments. However I want you all to know that I appreciate you all and the inspiration you give, and what would Monochromia be without all the readers.

Lastly and big thank you to Joe and his elves who put this site together for us all to enjoy

(Sorry about not being able to meet up in Albany this year Joe.)

My wife received a Willow tree angel from a colleague this year. This shot fits my sentiment. Thanks again one, and all and have a peaceful and happy Christmas.
