Out alone on Dartmoor in the wild mid-winter when howling winds from ancient times stirred the limbs and leaves to blow a chorus of thunder through the mighty oaks.
It was great up there!

Today I want
to resolve nothing.
I only want to walk
a little longer in the cold
blessing of the rain,
and lift my face to it.

Bulls Eye
Black And White Photography, David, Photography
I took this shot while visiting a friends farm where they raise Charolais cattle.This is a close -up cropped shot. Taken with my Leica M9P and the Summicron 90mm f2.0 ASPH lens I have which is a little underused . However is my go to portrait lens. I decided to crop quite heavily with the eye as an anchor point to give the shot more impact. I think I have achieved what I wanted to do. I would be nice to read what you think dear reader.
Steam Heat

“Yeah …. I’ve got ::cling cling:: fsssss steam heat”
How many of you hummed that song as you read those words? Or, sadly, how many of you have never heard of that 1954 song from The Pajama Game soundtrack?

Frozen In Time, For The Moment

Frozen In Time
Frozen, clinging, not yet ready to join the collective, tenuous connections soon to be broken, a return to fluidity.

A Stroll On The Beach

A foggy evening stroll at the beach. I love how the fog makes everything so quiet and peaceful.

We are finally done with our regular posting schedule for this year and now its time for Santa Joe to relax and have some milk and cookies, err…something to that effect!
I want to take this time to thank all of my hard working elves (aka contributors) for a wonderful 6 months, and all of our followers for being so gracious with your generous comments.
Beginning the day after Christmas we have some special posts in store for you, in fact we have a whole week of guest posts lined up.
We hope you enjoy this special week of posts and all of us at Monochromia wish you a Happy Holiday Season and a safe, healthy and prosperous New Year.
P.S. thank you Mrs. Santa for capturing me in one of my finer moments 🙂
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night”
