Something in Black and White That Makes Me Relax

Today's Me March assignment: Something that helps me relax.
Today's Mull Over March Word: monochrome or black and white

Hence the world's longest 365 title (well, maybe not the world's but certainly mine.)

And just in case you can't figure out what it is, it's a small portion of our cd collection basking in the morning sun as it shines through the computer room window.

We are heading out to a church function tonight, so I will most likely spend most of tomorrow catching up with you! Have a great Saturday!

At first glance, I thought they were ventian blinds! Great angle.

[Katharine Hubbard]

I like this - cool shot :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@allie912 @katharinehubbard
Thank you Allison!
Thank you Katharine!

[Kerri]

Very cool

[8yearson]

Sunlight through Venetian blinds???? What is this thing called 'sun?' We haven't had any here for ages! This makes a great abstract, a good answer to the challenges!

[Gerry]

beautiful light coming through and a nice photo Ann

[Maggiemae]

I can see you have celtic bagpipes there - just love that music! Nice neat shelving!

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Nice one Ann

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@kerristephens Thank you Kerri!
@jackie8 Thanks Jackie! lol The sun may have returned but it is full of false promises! It's still way too cold to be Spring!
@gerry Thank you Gerry!
@maggiemae Thanks Maggie! Yes, lol, this is the Celtic section! There's also piano music, folk, bluegrass, singer/songwriter, classical and more! We have A LOT of music! And all I can say, is thank goodness you cannot see the dust in this shot!
@gphelps5 Thank you Graham! This month has had some interesting "words" (Is 'black and white' really blackandwhite?). (o:

[Phil]

Love your pov here... the focus is great

[Jennifer]

What a cool shot. I love the light and patterns, it really looks like blinds from the thumbnail.

[Taffy]

Great b&w and I liked your title. I like the geometric shot and the way the light plays with the lines of the CD cases.

[inertia]

I love the angle.. and the celtic music too.. especially harp and guitar..=)..lovely shot..

[Nicole Campbell]

Great composition Ann, I like the way the light is flooding the photo. Well done.

[Henri Russell]

I love your POV on this.

[Dakotaburns]

Nice perspective and lighting.

[alia_801]

[Nada A.]

Love the POV and the light. Music is perfect!

[Rick Schies]

Yes, a must for relaxation for me too

[Sally Ings]

Interesting perspective, cool monochrome!

[Dixie Goode]

So we were thinking alike. :). Music also wakes me up. Makes me laugh or cry. Moves me in every way

[Carole Imes]

Fab POV and capture of the lighting and shadows. I love all kinds of music and it looks like you have a great collection.

[Dione Giorgio]

Great shot and lighting. Love the pov.

[Paula]

Great POV!

[Lisabell]

Nice composition in black and white. It really accentuates the lines.

[Meg]

first look and I thought it was an inside wall at a subway or someplace...very good capture

Thank you Phil, Jennifer, Taffy, Pinar, Nicole, Henri, Donald, Carla, Kathryn, Alia, Nada, Rick, Sally, Dixie, Carole, Dione, Paula, Lisa, and Meg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone! Such nice comments from such great people! So glad you all liked the pov and collection. Knew it was the shot of the day the minute I saw it.

@pandorasecho I know what you're saying Dixie! There are certain things I cannot listen to if I want to fall asleep to music- and certain things I can't listen to right now, if I don't want to miss my father and cry! But no matter what- I always like listening to music!

[Bev]

Nice shot. Great angle and great processing. Well done, Ann! :)

[bruni]

I thought that looks familiar..blinds..must've thought of your July project but when the picture opened up I saw it was something completely different. yes music can be very relaxing..I turn my the radio on when I get up and later I listen too some German tapes. (all the oldies).

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@prttblues Thank you Bev! No real processing on this one. It's b/w sooc.
@bruni Thanks Bruni! Wow- you remember pictures from my July shots?! I'm impressed!!
