X Marks the Spot

Well, the sky had some blue, but I decided to keep this one completely black and white for the effect of the shot. Went to an empty parking lot that had these huge light posts. Used my wide-angle, cropped, and processed in black and white. Not sure my exif info took because I could only see the shutter exposure, but it was ISO 200, 22/f, and 200 shutter speed. This is for the CSC challenge. Although, I may be too late!

Today, I tackled my closet. It's so nice now. I can breathe a bit more. Funny how organizing can make life so much better.
Congrats on finishing your closet! You did the right thing - one job at a time.

Neat POV! Your right, it does give you a lift when you accomplish a task.

That's a great POV, your eye goes straight to the top. Perfect in b&w!

Being often accused by my children as a borderline hoarder I know how daunting it can be to thin out but less is more...............or so I am told. Good for you and the accompishment.

Another dramatic shot because of the POV and editing!

I love this as an example of silhouette/shape for bw bookclub. And combined with the tower as leading line, it's really effective. I also liked the blue sky in the color version.

PS -- am envious that you've taken on your closet!

@taffy It was out of utter desperation. Truly. But I might just spend all day in it tomorrow as it is just about the only place put together in the house (at the moment). :/

@grammyn Katy, I have tackled two hoarder nightmares in the last few years. It's exhausting and overwhelming. I have some tendencies, but I'm determined not to go there. Less is best. Really

Splendid and humorous too! I seem to remember from Indiana Jones and "The Last Crusade" that "X" never marks the spot!

@steampowered ha. I forgot about that. :)

Great shot - made me smile

@darylo Again, good for you to tackle the task!

Stunning pov! My eye was immediately drawn to the top! I'm late in commenting so saw the colour as well. And strangely (for me) I'm more drawn to this one. I love the moody and eerie feeling it evokes.

Very creative, and good seeing.
