Too windy...

Taken with my iPhone - Textures by Kim Klassen

Yes, it has definitely been much too windy to get a decent flower shot these days and so I decided to try something new. Buildings have the advantage that they don't move in the wind - at least not normally...

For this image I decreased the saturation a bit and then used Kim's textures Cool Grunge and KK2 - that's it. It amazes me that it looks a bit like a sketch.

Enjoy the last day of July and have a great start into August, where I'm sure we'll all meet for August Break! Now off to see all the beautiful pictures over at Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday.

Minutes before the Rain...

... there was a glimpse of blue.

The Easy Way

Yes, I admit it! I made it easy for myself today for Black and White Wednesday at The Long Road to China, as colour is not the crucial factor in this photo, as it seems to be to me when shooting flowers or the like.

This is an underground corridor (with orange walls and a yellowish floor) and I very much like the form and curve of it.

Have a colourful Wednesday - despite the black and white!

Sunny Day in Black & White

The sun is shining, blue sky, yellow, red, green, orange leaves, deep autumn colours everywhere and in the middle of this: I - looking for a black and white shot...! Tough, very tough! But I tried and thanks to the sunshine I found some nice shadows.

I wish you a sunny Thursday!

Black and White Wednesday

It's Black and White Wednesday at The Long Road to China. I've been visiting quite often to have a look at all those wonderful entries but never joined, as black and white photography isn't really my strong point.

But today, with Justine's challenge of a "black and white November" in my mind, I decided to participate with the photo above. The original shows that it's the broken window of a red-brick building - obviously abandoned.

Despite the black and white I wish you a colourful Wednesday!
