Last week Cee asked us to take some new photos for her B& W Challenge. So I took a walk around the neighborhood on a really foggy day. I have photographed these buildings before, but I thought the fog added a new touch.

This week Cee has challenged us to show her anything that flies in Black & White.

I am not overly good at capturing things in motion so I had to be a little creative with this one. These are all things that could fly if they were real.
This is the Zaandam version of the Liva birds… I think.
This is a phoenix in St. Bavo’s, Haarlem
O.K. So I really do believe in angels but honestly I think they are much bigger and most times a little scarier than this.
This week Cee has challenged us to bring out THE PATTERNS in life. My three patterned black & white photos are below. But you can find a whole lot more by going to Cee’s site. Just click the underlined link above.
Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.
This week Cee has challenged us to show the back of things to our readers.
Click on the underlined link to see the back’s of lots of things. It’s a whole new way of looking at the world!

This week Cee has challenged to bring Black & White to life in a big way by showing photographs of large subjects.
You can click the icon below to see how Cee and her contributors have largely expressed themselves.
Now, I thought to myself when I saw the topic, “What could be larger than the Giant’s Causeway?”
According to legend the causeway was built by the giant Finn MacCool as a road to Scotland so he could fight the giant Benandonner there. The story tells us that Finn went to Scotland but when he saw how big Benandonner was he fled back to Ireland only to be followed by his Scottish enemy.
Finn knowing he was outmatched implored his wife Oona for help. Oona helped Finn by dressing him as a baby and sticking him in a cradle. When Benandonner arrived, the story goes, Oona explained that the “baby” in the cradle was actually Finn’s son rather than Finn himself. Now giant’s are not known for their intelligence, and so it would seem Benandonner was outwitted by Oona; So the great Scottish giant returned home destroying the bridge behind him, assured that if he was nearly outsized by Finn’s baby he would never be a match for the giant himself.
This is called the Giant’s pipe organ. It is said that on a windy night you can still sometimes hear Finn playing a tune for his dear wife Oona. And who would not play a tune for such an obviously intelligent woman?
