spu·ri·ous

There are lots of beautiful pictures of railroad tracks, ergo, railroad tracks are beautiful... NOT!

spu·ri·ous
/ˈspyo͝orēəs/
Adjective
Not being what it purports to be; false or fake: "spurious claims".
(of a line of reasoning) Apparently but not actually valid: "this spurious reasoning results in nonsense".

I don't know why, but I had this idea (inspired by @spirrowshoot's project and sort of as a result of a comment by @violeta) of picking an obscure word and coming up with a picture that day... and well, this is the result...

Spirrow's take on the word is here:

Violeta's is here:

you will also notice a goose silhouette... which sorta covers off my get pushed challenge set by @mandyj92 to shoot wildlife... being a big city girl, this may be as wild as it gets this week ;p

An etsooi mess in my other album :)

Thank you for the lovely comments on my dark horse, and the feedback on my street shot... so interesting to see the different perspectives...
Great b&w

@janim this was the first one, and i posted it on Spirrow's project... she's posted the one for tomorrow... it's: "pareidolia"? http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pareidolia (but i see you've been on her page so probably already saw it)

Ooooh, this has everything I love about b&w. OMG, haven't done a mono shot in a while, I miss it so much!!! Ahem, anyway, I like the contrast and the high key and composition... great shot. Can't wait to see what you do with the next word, it's a good one. I'll try and join you guys tomorrow.
