MONOCHROME MONDAY # 9




Pictures taken from my window.
Pure monochrome, no changed colors.
Blurry shadows against the cold Sky.
"The artist is a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place: from the sky, from the earth, from a scrap of paper, from a passing shape, from a spider's web. "
Pablo Picasso

  1. Starlings and a crow... ? Very familiar sight around here, though the crows are the Northern Hooded Crow and built a little heavier.
    They make a good picture and the conditions a good mono.

  16. Very interesting. I love birds on a wire or antenna. Next year antennas will be mostly obsolete in the US.

  19. I've gotten shots that didn't really require conversion before, but rarely do I see them this monochromatic.

    I love the mood of this shot. It actually looks cold.

  20. Very nice shot of the resting black birds. Let me see now, enough for a pie? Four and twenty? Wonder if somebody was having television reception problems?

  21. I'm so late returning your kind visit! Yes, it seems we were both looking at the same kind of thing.
