Monochrome Monday - 29th December


Another old photo - again of my mother - and I would imagine mid/late 1930's.


Rowing on a lake somewhere - possibly Platt Fields or Heaton Park in Manchester.

Seems closer to the Forties, Petrus.Something about that rakish hat.

Whenever, B&W is often timeless, it's a wonderful picture, Petrus. She illuminates with her smile.

I do enjoy these very personal images, as they are natural monochromes.

Shoot for the moon, even if you miss, you'll land amongst the stars.

Look around !!!

What is this life, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?
