Are we on vacation or traveling or just living? We left Fort Wayne almost eleven months ago. It has been an adjustment to living in a tiny space with no full time job, few possessions and waking up in a different spot every couple weeks. I guess I am going with exploring. We are exploring.

I sure don't like running into spider webs by accident but I do find them beautiful especially when covered in morning dew.

Up and down are relative concepts really. I'm finding echoes of Escher here. It took me a while to figure out which way was up - and I took the photo...
I think I was at a museum in Amsterdam...

The classic white Dogwood blossom is just stunning in black and white. I love the blossoms on the Flowering Dogwood tree that is labelled as endangered in Ontario Canada. I had always assumed that the white leaves were actually the white petals but I was wrong as the center is the actual flower and the white petals are actually leaves.

A value check on a digital #collage for #MonochromeMonday.

The bigger question: do I have a series lurking here? Some candidates and inspiration pieces here: https://www.are.na/liz-ruest/minimal-inspiration.

Is anyone else using this site? I'm trying it out as this series takes shape, wondering about other scenarios.

Black and white image of a walking bridge on a rainy day. The center part of the bridge has large metal supports. The area directly in front of the camera is a narrower walkway with wooden boards. The ground is wet from rain. Trees grow to the left over a handrail, and people can be seen walking in the distance.

I've taken this scenic steam engine train ride from Antonito, CO to Chama, NM on two different occasions. It is a spectacular day filled with awesome views as you travel over high trestles, through tunnels, and along narrow shelves above deep gorges.
At other times, while visiting Chama, NM, I've joined the enthusiastic "train chasers" to capture the train in action. I highly recommend the scenic ride but chasing the trains is tons of fun, too!

'Black and White Edinburgh Castle' for today's #MonochromeMonday

I've only been once to Edinburgh for a day, but it was so lovely there - the city has a nice medieval flair with the castle sitting high on top of a hill. Maybe I'll be back one day for a longer trip.

While taking a break in the picnic area of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge in south Texas I was mesmerized by the number of trees that were twisted in all directions. This is but one group of them. I need to return and see how they've grown in the past few years.

This barn only became visible when the trees obscuring it were cut down. The next time I drove by, it was gone - a bit of roadside Americana razed in an instant. It stood about 10 minutes from our house.

Taken with an Olympus Stylus Zoom, on Fuji Neopan 400 film (January 2017). #MonochromeMonday #Tennessee #BelieveInFilm

Black and white photo of an old barn, with a "Fleetwood Coffee" advertisement painted on the side. The paint has been well-preserved, likely due to being shaded by trees for many years.

One end of the barn is partially covered in vines, but the lot around it has been cleared down to the soil.

For #MonochromeMonday you'll probably enjoy another black and white picture of heritage steam parts. My dad made a similar photo back in the 70s, so I had to do it aswel of course 😂

This is a picture of Godshill village, on the Isle of Wight - a place where time appears to almost stand still.
I'm really pleased with the retro feel of this shot - which looks like a black & white postcard but was, in fact, taken just last week.

If you check out the reply to this post you can see the same scene from about 100 years ago. I imagine it's looked like this for at least 150 years.

A black and white photo of three thatched cottages, with a square church tower behind. The picture looks like it was taken 100 years ago but was, in fact, taken last week.

I’ve got a couple minutes of #MonochromeMonday left in my corner of the fediverse. This one didn’t get a lot of love when I shared it a few months ago with another photo, but, since I’ve not shared much recently and the daisies are currently blooming in Knoxville, let’s see how everybody likes this photo of daisies from Washington state in 2019.

When I stepped into the second room of the old train Depot museum at Uptop, Colorado, this vintage pitcher and basin in the window caught my attention. I especially liked that I could angle the composition to get the Chapel of the Wayside as the outside background. 2021
