Taken in colour for 7 Days of Shooting, then converted to B&W for Mono Monday. I think the colour version is better, but I hope my ability to take B&W photos might improve with the new Mono Monday theme.
Monday 21 April 2014: MONOMONDAY: TRANSPORT
Thanks to ffredsmum for hosting the challenge again this week. My choice of transport for today (when I'm not in the car) is Shanks' Pony. If you've not heard the expression before, this is what it means according to Ask.com: The saying Shank's pony has its origin in Scotland and dates back to the 18th century. The alternative version of this illusory phrase is 'the horse of ten toes' and it means one's legs, used as a means of transport.

Monday 24 March 2014: MONOMONDAY: PORTRAIT
This is my friend Baz... I was dreading this week's challenge as I don't like taking pictures of people, but Baz has stepped in to rescue me. I've known Baz for about 30 years and first met him when I was asked to do a presentation to a group of teachers at a nearby college. We have quite a bit in common and so our paths have crossed in many ways ever since. It was his birthday last week, so another celebratory lunch... I don't know why, but every time I look at Baz, I think of Christmas - lol!
2017 photo100 - #24
Soo.... It's june and I'm only up to 24 of 100 this year -- I'm a bit behind the pace. However, the summer music festival season is upon us and that should catch me up. ;-)

Basically the idea was to take an image that was completely devoid of brown tones and see how it turned out...

For 7 Days of Shooting /Week #44 - Graffiti & Street Art/Mono Monday
Thanks to DorkyMum for the location of this.
I will try and not use jewellery for the rest of the week. In the meantime here is another piece of Mrs B's collection. I use the word collection very loosely.
Monday 10 March 2014: MONOMONDAY: Architecture, Baddesley Clinton
This is one of my favourite National Trust properties and fortunately it's quite near to where I live. This means I can visit two or three times a year to see it in the different seasons. The moated manor house was built on the 15th century, but probably had its heyday in Elizabethan times and this is the architectural style it most commonly depicts. It belonged to the Ferrers family who lived there for over 500 years. Three priest holes have been discovered in the house and it was thought that at one time nine catholic priests were sheltered there against prosecution. This shot shows the side of the house and you can clearly see the moat, fine chimneys and the internal courtyard. If you look closely you can see that an arch on the wall has been bricked up.
