I’ve tried to find more than one subject in each image for the letters B and W for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week – the first has branches, a bridge, and water, and the second has a building, a boat, a bridge, and water 🙂

Windswept

OK, so it’s not the most flattering of photographs of me but what the Hell – it was so windy while I was out for my walk this morning I could hardly hold my phone still enough to capture this windswept-hair selfie, to the extent that I gave myself a fit of the giggles as I imagined sharing it on my blog for this week’s Cee’s B&W Challenge: Anything that Flies 🙂
Oooh, and it might even make this week’s Weekly Smile, too! 🙂
Shadows Left Behind

Softened subtle shadows left behind on a wall for this week’s Cee’s B&W Challenge: Lost or Left Behind 🙂
Number 74

Vanishing Point

My favourite vanishing points usually include train tracks – they have such a strong sense of infinite continuity, I find them quite hypnotic to look along. This is the single track railway swing bridge crossing the Caledonian Canal at Clachnaharry, Inverness. Because there is actually a pedestrian level crossing here, I’m OK to be standing on the tracks to take this shot 🙂
Outside our House

Cee’s B&W Challenge this week is asking for images with the letters O and U in them – so here is a monochrome shot of the outside of our house! 🙂
Winding Gear

Winding gear fixed in place alongside the banks of the canal, taken from above – does winding gear count as a gadget? 🙂
Canal Overflow

There was certainly water, water everywhere at the farthest Beauly Firth end of the Caledonian Canal yesterday – this tide was out, and the last sea-lock was so full the water was noisily overflowing the top of the lock-gate like a proper waterfall 🙂
Conservatory, Inside and Outside
A monochrome view of inside my conservatory, and also on the outside, looking up from the bottom of the garden 🙂
Gravestone

I quite like the way the branches of the tree growing so close behind it seem to create a continuation of the twisting tree design on this celtic cross gravestone, camouflaging it in a complex embrace of light and shade 🙂
