Lost in Translation

Black & White Sunday: Darkness and Light

“They say there is no light without dark, no good without evil, no male without female, no right without wrong. That nothing can exist if it’s direct opposite does not also exist.”

― Laurell K. Hamilton, Incubus Dreams

    Our snow season has arrived. it snowed all day and night on Wednesday and again last night. More tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. It’s a black and white world. Love the dramatic shadows in your city. Very dramatic indeed. \

    Garry was out taking pictures at sunset today and got a few nice pictures, one of which will be out just after midnight, our time..

    I love a bit of drama and this is such a captivating shot, Paula 🙂 That couple, drawing us through the archway, the amazing lamp and wonderful ceiling. It’s like a scene from a film. Where is it set, please? You mentioned genius. I think that this is much closer to it. Have a great Sunday! 🙂 Sending hugs!

        Yes, just a few days, but i was delighted to see some snow here.
        But today is cold and rain and all tall buildings have vanished into clouds. Today’s shots will be more for a grey theme than black & white!
