Black & White Sunday: Always there
When I was thinking about a theme for today’s challenge my first idea was “iconic” (as in iconic view of a place), but then it occurred to me that it could be a bit too challenging, so finally I decided on “always there” as it can give everybody a chance to come up with a fitting photo.
Thank you for playing again. Peace to you all.
P.S. For those who are not yet familiar with the rules of this challenge, they are quite simple. Make a post containing one or several photos in B&W, leave a link to your post in the comment section below and make sure to provide a link to this challenge in your post. More about future events here.

Beautiful framing by clouds and tree. But always there? Real permanence is hard to envisage for me: even rocks erode away!

I love the clouds. They add a airy perspective to that stunning townscape and indeed suggest this scene will be always be here in the future.

As I hinted in my intro above this is an iconic view that hasn’t changed since I was little. I can’t see future, but I am in favour of believing in constants and solidity and cannot look at everything as being decayed or eroded, not that I am defending my views which do not need to be defended.

Red Feather Lakes…in Northeastern Colorado…the silence is “always there” waiting for chaos to fade. Thank you Paula for this opportunity to contemplate “always there” in this ever-changing universe.

Always there? Hopefully for (almost) ever. A nice shot. les clochers m’ont parus intéressants. On retrouve des ressemblances avec d’autres architectures. Merci aussi pour la musique. Est-ce que tu joues du piano?

(What is a melodica? Is it like an electric organ?) un orgue electrique? It is so nice to play an instrument. I haven’t done so in years… 😣😁
