With a bit of MiB flavour:-)
The mythical birth place of the Goddess Aphrodite, Petra tou Romiou on the southern coast of Cyprus but on this afternoon, dust from the Sahara took all colour away. When this dust arrives it lingers on for days until rain clears the atmosphere.
This colourless shot was taken towards the "sun".
An Autumnal scene at Loch Ard. A little cloudy and colourless in the sky but the lovely tones in the trees and bushes and that soft focus reflection makes it worth while.
What you can see in this photo are icebergs that separated from the Jokusarlon glacier as a consequence of the melting process and then floated to a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon", Jokusarlon, Iceland). Having been part of a glacier, these icebergs keep those blueish tones. From Glacier Lagoon they float towards the ocean, some of them ending up on a beach, aptly named Diamond Beach.
*****
Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. With the glacier's high pressure, air bubbles then are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue.
Small amounts of "regular" ice appear to be white because of air bubbles inside them and also because small quantities of water appear to be colourless. In glaciers, things are quite different as the pressure causes the air bubbles to be squeezed out, increasing the density of the created ice.
In a glacier you can usually see different tones of blue, looking almost as horizontal layers. The ones with darker blue are usually the oldest ones, having been subject to more compression.

Winter Aconite
I like the way that on the greyish, colourless winter earth the bright yellow gives the impression that some sort of filter has been used, but it hasn't.
I took this with a 135mm but couldn't get close enough so I used the aps-c mode hence the exif showing 202mm, but with a 135mm f1.8, full frame d.o.f.
The Black Beach near Vik, Iceland, Arnardrangur or 'Eagle Rock', (a basalt sea stack) eagles nested there until 1850. Reynisfjara black sand beach was created by lava flowing into the ocean. It is the wettest place in Iceland.

After a very unphotogenic month (dark, rainy, colourless) I've decided to take my camera out to the chamois' forest this morning. Unfortunately no chamois decided to show themselves, but the fresh snow and the fog were a beautiful sight anyway.
.....And spring came to visit me while i was sitting in the field of blooms. I could smell her before i could see her. She smelled of fresh rain on damp earth, the gentle aroma of budding flowers, the evocative odor of newly mowed grass. She whispered shyly in my ear. Her voice, still waking up from a long nap, sounded like wind rustling in the leaves and branches of dewy trees.
She told me that she had come to save me from the bleak grey of winter. She reminds me that if I dont give up hope, the dark colourless times I endure can end and be replaced with colour and light of new beginnings. Fresh starts. In which there can be many.
Spring is a lovely reminder of how beautiful change can be.
And without winter, how would we truly appreciate the gifts we receive.
Originally built as a farmhouse, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont (Beyond the Bridge) is actually considerably older than the Inigo Jones bridge it stands beside. Some years later during the 16th century the building was used as the Courthouse for the surrounding area.
Branching Out..
The first snowfall in January was a pleasant surprise as the weather was quite warm and the snow fell for the better part of the morning letting up in the afternoon. we made our way to Heart lake,
This photo of a big gnarly old tree looks like some strange monster hunched over and reaching out to the frozen lake, trying to trap those innocents who would unwittingly pass by.... or so i imagined in my futile but slightly twisted mind.
Thank you for visiting for marking my photo as a favourite and for the kind comments,

Drifting beauty
Frozen snowflakes
Underneath an ashen sky
Soft rain moving like sparkling glass
Playing a rhythm of misunderstood tunes
With wind so light it outlines the air
Portraying a colourless reflection...
I can't recall if I converted this image to black and white. I suspect that, on this occasion, I did. But it's hard to tell, because the building is entirely clad in shades of grey and the sky was completely colourless too.
