I've been challenged by my friend Brian (www.flickr.com/photos/bgdlynch/) to post a B&W photo each day for 5 days and in turn to nominate another person each day to do the same! This is my 2nd day and today I nominate my good contact and friend Laurie (www.flickr.com/photos/laurie2123/).
The picture shows a mosaic floor of the Central Thermae in the Roman city of Herculaneum. The city was destroyed in 79 AD by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. It is amazing how well the buildings and all art is preserved through the ages, and that one is able to stand on 2000 year old floors of these baths.
The title refers to a line in the song 'The Remembering - High the Memory' by the symphonic rock band Yes:
<em>Stand on hills of long forgotten yesterdays
Pass amongst your memories told returning ways
As certain as we walk today
We walk around the story
Out in the city running free
Days pass as seconds turn they key
The strength of the moment lies with you</em>
B&W Challenge - Day 2
"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

But it's something i do every week. I just love the taste of freshly baked bread as does my family. Three of these four loaves will end up in the freezer, and keep us in bread for the week.
This is my third shot in the black and white challenge.

5 Day Black & White Photography Challenge (2nd Time Around). This is my Day 1 image. This is my 2nd time around for the the black & white photography challenge. Five photographer have called me out so far to participate in the challenge. Who am I to turn down an opportunity to promote the craft of photography? More people should pick up cameras in my opinion. Thanks to everyone who has thought me for this challenge, I appreciate it. This time around, I'm not going to select a photographer to participate because I know photographers are out there making the magic happen with their cameras and clients and I don't want to add any unnecessary pressure to a photographer's workflow. I completely understand the real struggle between doing personal projects and client work. I chose something a little abstract to kick off this 2nd time around with the challenge. This photograph is a departure from the portraiture that I normally post, but I do enjoy landscape and abstract concepts. Instead of picking a photographer to participate for 5 days. I'm going to challenge any photographer who views this to share a photograph of another photographer on their Facebook page. Photographers should be supportive of each other. There is nothing wrong with promoting other artists who produce work that is worthy of being shared . Thanks for the shout out Greg Adams, Jaleel King, and Demetrius Austin. #5DayBWChallenge #BWChallenge

B&W conversion (December 2014) of a photo taken 1987, sailing around the Isle of Wight. Looking towards the mainland.
The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, UK, close to Alum Bay. The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer, western end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.
The formation takes its name from a fourth needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife that collapsed in a storm in 1764. The remaining rocks are not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.
The Needles were featured on the 2005 TV programme Seven Natural Wonders as one of the wonders of Southern England.

December 2014 2 of 5 day B&W challenge (by Bobbi - link in second comment)
Just post one B&W image each of five days. They can be archive or new shots. Just put them together in one place, tagged, and the idea is to nominate someone each of the five days. I have invited BazzaDaRambler- link in second comment.
I have been nominated by Bella Lisa to do the B&W challenge for 5 days - this is #5. My fifth nominee is anyone who would like to take up this interesting and thoughtful challenge!
My fifth and last submission is a shot showing the parish church dedicated to St Mary and All Saints, and is also an entry for the challenge group 52 in 2015, #39, A place of Worship.
Three great families dominated the village from the 12th century until the time of Henry VIII. A Sheriff of Lincoln, Philip de Kyme founded a Priory of Augustinian Canons and a small part, the south aisle of its massive cross shaped Priory church, still survives as St Mary and All Saints and much of that was rebuilt in the early 19th century. The Church is a high building with no traditional tower or spire. The great porch has a fine entrance arch under a niche with a worn sculpture of the Coronation of the Virgin. Much older than all else in the church there are fragments of stone in the north wall with knotwork and other ornament certainly carved by Saxons.
A wall monument supported by figures of Time and Death is in memory of a Parish Clerk's son who after being apprenticed to a tailor went to London and made his fortune. After his death in 1711, the poor folk of his native village had much to thank him for and praise the name of Marmaduke Dickinson.
When the church was restored in 1805 the family vault of the Tailboys was uncovered. Inside, coffins of a man and three children were discovered. Surprisingly one coffin had been filled with spirit which had preserved the child’s body intact.

I recently bought some letter shaped pasta just so I can take pictures of it. This is the first time I use it, but what with doing a 365, I'm sure they will come in handy some other time as well.
This is also the first of 5 B&W photos I will be posting the next few days, as part of a 5 day B&W challenge.
I was nominated by { jess }, and for my turn, would like to nominate Jo Z-Cool and Snowy, Winter Returneth!!!.
Pero, alejándonos de esos ámbitos extremos y dentro de un continuo entre normalidad y patología, concebidas sin una separación nítida ni una mutua exclusión entre ambas, no resulta del todo fácil rechazar la relación del artista con la locura, por falsa, ni aceptarla como verdadera. En el individuo normal, el que no es artista ni creador en este caso, la normalidad no está exenta de locura, y viceversa. En el artista no son las cosas muy diferentes. Lo que sí es distinto es que para el artista existe un modelo cultural y un contexto en el que ese componente ambiguo tiene sentido y que su propio trabajo puede implicar cierta familiaridad con los límites y su forzamiento. Parece que en ese entorno no demasiado definido encaja fácilmente esa imagen cultural del artista situado en un terreno fronterizo, entre la salud y la enfermedad, sujeto a la tensión de fuerzas opuestas y a la inestabilidad de los cambios, sujeto a tensiones contradictorias. Si la locura se entiende como algo no del todo apartado, alienado, de la normalidad, y ésta viene a convertirse en algo que tampoco está exento de locura, en ese territorio intermedio parece que hay lugar para encajar la imagen tradicional del creador, habitando una frontera peligrosa por su mismo carácter liminar.
"Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset"
If there is one song that can be attributed to a city like San Francisco, it should be "California Soul". Apparently multiple major artists have performed the song, but I love the Marlena Shaw version... her voice is so powerful! I just can't help but play the song in my head while walking on the streets of SFO. It is a great city... to visit, at least.
This was shot in Nov 2013 during my second visit to SFO, on a bright and sunny California day, possibly on Montgomery Street. The houses on these streets with some really steep elevation are particularly beautiful with some amazing views of the city on one side and the ocean and Golden Gate Bridge on the other.
Converted the pic to b&w for the on-going black and white challenge on facebook.
I have been nominated by RNorm (I don't know how to highlight either!) to carry on the momentum of this project, and am honoured to do so. Thanks Reggie!
This pic is of my fave coffee shop in town, taken very early in the morning (that's why it's so empty!), just after I've dropped the children off at school, on a very rainy and dark morning, waiting for the shops to open.
I wanted to catch someone with an umbrella walking past the window, but of course, no-one walked on this side of the street, so the best I could get was someone across the road outside the ironmongers shop.
Taken, as per usual, with the 'Trusty iPhone'!
Handing on the baton, I offer Lynda Higgs Photography the challenge of taking the project forward.
