The morning found me back on the road again, and I was rushing to keep on time. This scene made me stop the truck, run across the road, and wander around shooting in the dew soaked median for just a bit.
Yet another reason to love photography … the chance to stop, to breathe, and to capture the beauty that surrounds us.
Aspire Sculpture on Appalachian State Campus
It almost seems a shame to post this in monochrome as the colors change depending on the weather and time of day. Then again, this gorgeous sculpture by Jon Hair is a beauty no matter how you look at it.
Hint: I spent 3 days in Florida
As I ride along, I am often entertained by the messages on church signs. This one made me laugh out loud and I just had to stop.
Knowing that with work and preparing for travel I might not have a chance to spend time with the camera, I pulled this image from the archives.
Hope you got a little chuckle, too!
This image offered memories of summer, with the watering can and picnic table, in the middle of winter.
It was a lovely evening walk, checking out the Uptown sites in Charlotte, NC. Once converted to monochrome this image took on a decidedly more sinister appearance. Visit this post on Life on the Bike to see a similar image in color.
How’s that for a sweet Valentines Day post?
The P&LERR (Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad) terminal building, or the Landmarks Building, was constructed in 1900. Located in Pittsburgh, this historic landmark, once a busy passenger station and hub of the P&LERR railroad, has been renovated and now contains shops, restaurants, and is a wedding venue.
I just have to tell all my Monochromia friends how much I have loved each and every one of the posts. Thank you for making me smile with each one.
A very grateful thanks to Joe for adapting the image for me!
Those of you who have followed me these past few years, know about my love for these 35 year old fire fighting boots. When I dropped them off at the Cobbler’s shop for repair, I saw that the shelves were loaded down with shoes and boots of every style. In our throw away society, it is reassuring to know that others have a love for old boots and shoes, and that a third generation cobbler has the skill to restore these treasures.
My beloved boots needed repairing, and this time the job needed to be done right. Fortunately, a third generation cobbler opened a little shop not far from my home. I’ll share a photo of the shoes and boots on the shelves another time. This time, it’s all about the shadows.
