Sally's prompt this week was monochromatic.
Monochromatic photos evoke strong emotion.
They tell a story so differently then seeing the multi layered colors usually present.
I chose to use a photo I took many years ago in Wales.
To this day it is still one of my favorite black and white photos that I've ever taken.
The place is Tintern Abbey.
It is a place of grandeur, magnificent lore and is hauntingly beautiful.
I remember sitting in the grasses surrounding the Abbey
and being in complete awe of it's size and beauty.
To me there was no other way to capture it's history and grace than through black and white.
Want to see what others have captured this week...

And ethereal photo of an amazing place! My husband lived in Wales for several months after graduating from college. We visited Wales for our honeymoon and he took me to see Tintern abbey. Haven't seen it since. :)
Amazing photo, and you are correct black and white made it very powerful! I bet it was awe inspiring to sit there and just soak in the view.
