Black & White Sunday: Landmark
It’s been a while since I challenged you to post a photo (or several photos) in monochrome. Today I am posting a photo with sepia edit to evoke times past, cause I thought it most suitable for a treasured landmark such as Zagreb Cathedral. You are free to do any sort of edit you wish – even selective colouring, or hints or colour as long as monochrome is predominant (it does not have to be an edit at all, it can also be a photo taken as plain black&white – as usual the choice is yours).
This is my entry for my challenge. I would appreciate your kind contributions for this Sunday. Be well and have a good rest!
Things are back to normal blogwise. You can consult the Scheduled challenges page here to see about forthcoming events. I am waiting for bloggers interested in guest hosting a photo challenge (either in colour or black and white) to send me their ideas. You can always contact me here on blog or via email – the details are in the right next to copyright notice.

This is really beautiful, Paula. The music sounds very patriotic, even though I don’t understand the words. 🙂 I’ll be back tomorrow. xx

So lovely of you to listen to the music, Sylvia. It’s an old song about Zagreb. It reminds me of Charles Trenet when he sings about France. I look forward to seeing what you have for me 🙂 xx

A lovely, calming photo of a greta building. This took me happily back to the 1960s when I was studying medieval Art History.

Thank you again, Klara. What a cool perspective to shoot Mont Saint Michel. I’ve never been there, but it is still on my list.

With the vignette, and sepia toning it definitely looks quite old. The tone itself even reminds me of the calotypes from the late 1800’s.
I’ve very recently prepared a duotone that might be good for this challenge, so I’m going for it. I’ll let you know when it’s posted.

Plus une chanson “rétro” qui rappelle Jean Sablon, ou Maurice Chevalier. Je dirais, les années 30? 32, 33?
Extraordinaire comme, au-delà de la langue, déjà, il y a presque 100 ans les mêmes musiques traversaient les frontières.
