Accidental Monochrome

For Monochrome Madness this week, Elke, of Pictures Imperfect, asks us for images which are naturally monochrome. Or in my case, accidentally monochrome. So it’s all about winter then ….

Not necessarily. Statuary answers very well. Here are two chaps seen at English Heritage’s archaeology store in Helmsley, North Yorkshire: and another at Rievaulx Abbey, all in North Yorkshire.

Or these, from door frames at the Modernista Casa Coll i Regàs in Mataró, Catalonia.

And birds against a reliably grey English sky:

Finally, an all too typical scene from a corner of an English farmyard. I make no apology for not removing the splashes of colour in this, or in my header shot.

  3. The birds against the sky work beautifully. I’m visiting a pal in Yorkshire next week so your featured photo gave me a bit of a shock! She’s busy managing my weather expectations.

  15. You are so right about the statues – and you found great ones. Unlike others I like that toothy grin. The desaturation works great in your misty tree scene. The little bit of green adds an extra touch. Thanks for taking part!
