A Little Fresh Air!

Whilst most people head to malls to shop over the Thanksgiving weekend, I prefer to head as far away from stores as I can. We spent the afternoon at the forest preserve, it was good to get some fresh air!

I like the black and white. Something different for this type of shot. I feel the same about the shopping. I stayed in all day on Black Friday - although my husband was out from 6am to 10pm! haha

That was my feeling yesterday, I stayed home and did the yard. Like the b&w and huge open space.

Beautiful photo. Love the textures in the clouds

[Kate]

Beautiful b&w photo. I appreciate your need to get away from the crush of the shopping crowds!

[Gabi]

I like the soft texture in the clouds. You nearly can see them moving across the sky. Very nice.

[Jo]

I agree with you totally about the shopping crowds, it makes no sense to me. Beauty of a photo, so peaceful and calm and love it in b&w.

[Rachel]

It sounds like a crazy shopping weekend over there. I love the clouds in this shot, and the contrasting tree silhouettes.

[Nicole Long]

Love this in black and white!!!!

[Carol]

Great idea, sure beats shopping in the crowds! Wonderful b&w shot!

[Rosie Kerr]

No shopping, no shopping! :) Lovely textures in the clouds and sky.

I don't shop either. However, I, INSANELY, decided to head downtown and take in a couple of tours. It was such a beautiful day but that meant EVERYONE, but you (smartly), was also downtown! Whew! I'm thinking a forest preserve would've been a better idea! :) I love this in B&W!

How relaxing and good for mmind health is to visit open spaces. Great bw shot.

[vstap]

Great choice. I'm not up for that Black Friday stuff anymore, either. But there were days in the past I loved it! Think it's gotten a bit more crazy over the years, though. Nice big sky and tree silhouettes.

I will take fresh air over shopping any day! It looks like a beautiful place to relax. Great B&W!
