There’s something very poignant about the wild west in black and white, perhaps it better reflects our memories and impressions of it from times past

Wow, love that first shot. Yes, the B & W image just seems to fit Monument Valley beautifully.
Thank you Ingrid, its such a magical place I wish I could visit more often, maybe some day I ll get back there😊
Black and white pictures have a calmness to them – they provide a quiet space for us to hear (see) better the images of our own memory.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful images, Mike.
Much love and happy holy-days,
Steffi
Thanks Steffi you put it so well. Much love to you and yours for christmas x
Hi Mike. As Jo says: Western music 🙂
This is the perfect setting for some black and white shots…lovely! 🙂
Mike, I’m old enough to remember that the Wild West was always in black & white! Great photos!
That first photo especially is so powerful, Mike. I get strands of western-style theme music in my head straight away!
B/W reminds us that they were harsh times back then in the pioneer days.
You are right. These have quite an impact.
Although I love the colors of the West, sometimes black and white is even more powerful.
It certainly has a different feel in black and white. Lovely.
