thankful for writing and photography

because they are my happy places.

what i cannot put in writing, i can take a photo of; and what i cannot photograph, i can write about.

this is the final image for my self-challenge of black and white month. thank you, bill, sally and ann for joining me.

i shall miss black and white. when i started taking photographs a few years back, i had an aversion for it because i thought the world is in colour so we should see it and show it in colour. but as i joined some challenges, i realize that there are subjects that look better in black and white, more details show, and the perspective is certainly different. i've learned from some of the best around here on 365, most notably northy who i have had the honour of seeing how she works at her craft/art. it's fascinating to watch her. and if you must know, i call this the northy bridge! taken today while riding at 110 kmph.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
I really do think that b/w makes me see better in color and vice versa! It's been fun finishing up the month in black and white. I'm sure a few more will pop up now and then, until Feb. rolls around and "Flash o' Red" returns!

I so love to combine the two. That is why I love 365...that and the fun banter and friends. Good for you for sticking to b&w for a whole month. I don't think I could do it. Love your Northy bridge shot. I am pondering the spring meet up and hope I can swing it. Perhaps I can get all the Mad Hatters there, too. It would be fun to meet the team.

Nicely composed shot! I like the lines and B&W tones.

Quite an impressive looking bridge. I has been wonderful joining you in the b&w month (although I did miss a few days!)

A bridge seems a fitting end, leads to another month. Hope you were not behind the wheel....

Lovely image. I like that I see all the people walking on it! Really good clarity for a shot taken while driving!

This looks great on black, fantastic focus for 68 mph! Why do you call it the northy bridge? Thanks again for the challenge

@bill_fe - because she's featured this bridge in her albums soooooo many times, in different times of day or night and different perspective. i only started shooting this last year and mostly when we drove by!
