Canadian Country (MM27)

This month’s Monochrome Madness theme from Leanne Cole PHOTOGRAPHY is COUNTRY. Initially I chose a photograph from my visit to Australia back in March as nothing says country more to me than a kangaroo sitting under a tree.

Then as I sat down to write this post I felt conflicted submitting a photo from Australia when I like to now call Canada home. Back through the archives I went to find this shot from our adventures through British Columbia in May.

I briefly considered lightening this photograph somewhat but as I did so I simply wasn’t happy with the result. If you haven’t already guessed, I rather like my captures to be on the dark side, that’s simply me.

Especially given the state of disrepair these two buildings are in. Their glory days are obviously behind them with mother nature moving in to reclaim what was rightfully hers to begin with.

But on the plus-side of changing my mind at the moment, I have now have one or two images for future Monochrome Mondays. Of course there’ll be NO prizes for guessing what those images will be, lol! 🙂

Beautiful layout. Beautiful shot. I’d also like to see it in color.
It kind of reminds me of my fjord tour in Norway earlier this summer.

  Thank you Deborah – when I have a chance I’ll see if I can inject some colour back into this for you. I’ve only ever seen Norway in winter, to see it green must have been beautiful! 🙂

  Lol – it goes without saying, there will be my undying respect and admiration for the person who guesses but given the materialistic world we live, I feared this prize would be scorned…

    Oh, so there IS a prize 🙂 And it’s worth fighting for, but unfortunately I’m not good at guessing…so I’ll just have to wait.

I don’t think you need to lighten it further. It’s great as it is because you can see all the detail that you need. Lovely moody picture.
