Industrial Zone B & W version

I originally posted this photo in my regular 365 project but some suggested that I try this "urban landscape" in b&w with high contrast (I love it when people help me identify a name for whatever it is I'm trying to do!).
Here's a link to the original:

@taffy @mara19500 -- here's the b&w version as you both suggested -- and you are RIGHT !! It matches the mood of the place very much. Thanks for a great suggestion. B&W is something I never choose to do and only happens as a result of a challenge or because I can't fix bad lighting and make skin color natural. It just hasn't been on my radar.

It really works! And the big sky balances out the roughness of the landscape. So cool!

That's the kind of effect I had in mind. Brava!
