Those who follow will never learn to walk

Beware of strength in numbers
They play better than one
A group of those who follow
Can never reach the sun

Sundays are starting to get monochromatic for me, and with Winter coming I foresee more black and white Sunday shots on this blog. If you want me to see your black and white world, leave me a link in the comment section.

  1. Nice photo. B&W is a very good choice for this shot. I’ll join your B/W Sunday and see if I can post something today. The cow is a great animal: provides a lot of different foods.
