Hello Old Friend

Welllll, hello old friend!

In your face conversation

My best side

It’s been ten years since I walked the hills and pasture of what once was home. This old gelding seemed to recognize a familiar face – he was in my face at least. It made the perfect opportunity to join in on Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Heads or facial features  this week.

Rimmed for Solid Rubber Tire?

I spotted this wheel recently. From the early days of the automobile I’d say.

Natural Sepia

Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Sepia

I found that a lot of my winter images turned out to be naturally sepia in tone. These images have not been used before but come from some of my other collections this month.

CB&W Lines and Angles (industrial strength)

For Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week , I went back to the railroad trestle that goes over the Zoar Valley Trail. A trail I frequently go to. Industrial strength at work.

Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge this week features photo subjects beginning with the letter S.

A bright sunny Sunday afternoon  provided some very nice shadows.

CB&W – Buildings

Interpretive Building at The Wilderness Center

A timely and rare sunny winter morning gave to me an opportunity to catch this beautiful building at the Wilderness Center in Wilmot, Ohio. The early morning sun made for some great contrast and great shadow-play on the building. I’m adding it along with other entries to Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge.

Cee’s Black & White Challenge – Stone Wall

For Cee’s Black and White challenge this week, I chose to go to structures I pass regularly on my hiking trails. At The Wilderness Center, Wilmot Ohio, are the foundation remains of a farmstead granted by Thomas Jefferson. I’ve included part of the old barn foundation and my discovery of rock stacks on the old house foundation. Two old bridges span the Tuscarawas River along the Zoar Valley Trail, part of the Ohio to Erie Towpath trail. These provide two samples of stone buttresses.
