Behind Bars

I am sorry to say that I didn't take a single photo today. We were travelling across the country and my camera was safely packed away. Alas, I didn't have the time or the peace of mind to focus on photography. I took this photo a couple of days ago as a potential back up photo for today. I noticed the shadow of a bench cast on a large stone flower pot. I liked the lines and curves. It will have to do for this black & white Wednesday.

Thank you all for the positive response to my "No Man's Land" photo and your well wishes for my son's competition. Your support and positive wishes mean the world to me!

I like the angles/lines of this and the b&w is very effective. Or is it b&w?

[SquamLoon]

I can see why you wanted to use this shot. A lot of really cool elements make it interesting.

[Yvonne]

I really like the curves of this shot.

[Cathie]

Wonderful bench shot, Lisa! Just saw your b&ww challenge. I might give it a try; would be a reason to really think in b&w. Have a WONDERFUL time on your trip! I'm really looking forward to seeing the WashDC shots!
