I have begun to embrace the transformative possibilities of black and white photography. It embodies the beauty of solitude found within a solo hike. Stepping into the unknown of a path appearing to stretching endlessly before me. The approach to each bend in the trail where Nature waits patiently to reveal herself. Whispering of leaves blending with the creaking sway of pines reaching skyward, it is there I hear the Universe with my Soul.
Alone with the Forest Sentinels
whispering
leading
pleading
pulling
into the serenity of solitude.

I am taking a photography journey via WordPress.com’s Blogging U Photo 101 course. Between now and my birthday (July 04th) the project will involve expanding my photography sight and insight. As for the daily project deadline the art of photography and life rarely go as planned.

I like your photos! I like how you used the strong lines to your advantage! 🙂
Thank You, trails were perfect for the thirds portion of the the photo101 challenge today.
Dramatic pictures especially in black and white. Depicts solitude very well.
Thank you Julia, I am beginning to slowly embrace B&W for my nature photography.
