Black & White Sunday: Landscape

Today we are having everyone’s favourite theme: landscape. The only trick is that it has to be in black and white. My memories have taken me to Poland, this time on the shores of lake Czorsztyn.

 A path, a meadow, some trees, and an old castle hanging above a lake; what more should a landscape have?

Here you can check out the same thing in colour.

    Your photo reminds me of an old black & white postcard I have from the small town in Poland(Galicia) my husband’s family is from. (Niebylec) Amazing the similarity though the postcard is from the 1930’s! Beautiful countryside.

    It’s beautiful and I have to say not too many old castles hanging over lakes here. 🙂

    With its layered textures and composition , we can call it the “perfect landscape”!

    Hurrah! My favourite subject indeed even, and especially in B & W. Your Polish scene does indeed give us everything. I love the way the light catches that curving glimpse of the path through the trees, and v. dramatic overarching sky. And I’m enjoying this music track. Wishing you a less busy Sunday 🙂

        No pressure, she says 🙂 I think the shot I have in mind might be more brooding than beautiful…

    I’m not really a landscape photographer and have only recently begun to experiment in this field. Usually I focus on the details. But I think this view might have worked in B&W. See what you think: https://smallbluegreenwords.wordpress.com/2016/11/27/black-and-white-sunday-a-view-fit-for-a-queen/
    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday Paula, hope you managed to relax some.

      Ha, I went to see your post before reading this. Why did I think that all of you were landscape photographers. This entry may easily contradict you. I had fun taking photos for the weekly challenge that I will post tomorrow, so yes, I managed to have some relax time this weekend. Thank you, Jude 🙂
