Black & White Sunday: Rural Photography
When approaching rural photography you may think of it as rural landscapes (which is perfectly fine) or you can capture something (or some place) that has to do with a rural lifestyle. Your photos do not need to show what life used to be in the past (which is the case with my photo of a reconstructed Iron Age Celtic farmstead captured in Slovakia at Liptovska Mara). It can be rural life as it is today, with or without livestock, abandoned or active. The choice is yours.

I look forward to your photographic interpretations of rural. Make them Black & White and link to this Black & White Sunday challenge.

I shall have to post my ‘soon to be’ rural view, but not tonight. Your Iron Age Celtic farmstead is wonderful. I like the composition, the clouds, the trees and the way you have captured the isolation of the place, with the buildings hunkered down and protected by the woods behind them.
