Time flies when you are too busy to take pictures. I promised a black and white theme this month, so here it is. Nothing brand new here, but the conversion to b&w gives the pictures a whole new feel.
Beautiful Paul! I love the third one as it reminds me of getting up in the we hours of the morning to go fishing with my dad. We had to drive past the refineries to get to the good spots...
Very nice! I really like the second one (the chess king in a corner). I love how a good photographer can take an everyday object and turn it into a work of art.

Beautiful...I love the dock picture. It reminds me of when I was a kid at my grandfathers in the Poconos. My brother and I would go down to the lake and it was perfectly still, like glass. Haven't thought about that in a long time.
Thanks again for doing this, Paul. Like Bill, I'm smitten by the chess pic. Love what you've done with focus on that one.
