h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

FWR:

Hazy skies and detailed branches were made for monochrome! I like the framing too, the silhouettes lead the eye from the bright areas into the edges of this lovely shot.

DG:

I like the way the bigger branches make bold lines, while the smaller ones make a network that's almost feathery.

Oh thanks a lot. The original 'colour' picture was almost black and white as well, by the way. It was a very, very gray day. I took the shot while waiting for my husband who picked something up at a shop.

I hope your kids got to play with in the snow at their grandparents but your having tulips peeking out is surely a sign of global warming.

Thanks, they had much fun. But it really worries me that we had no snow at all this year. I can't remember this ever happened.

And yes, I was shocked when I found tulips under the leaves today. We had 17°C yesterday! We're supposed to go back to 0 on wednesday.

I don't see any tulips in the picture.

I try to figure out if there are any birds or nests among those branches.

Sorry, you can't see it Paul. I sent the tulip picture in our skype group.

We won't have tulips before April.

Excellent, reminding the viewer of Japanese gardens.

Lovely image.

Thanks bob!

I love Japanese gardens! The japanese Tea Garden in Golden Gate park has always been one of my favorite places.

Trees do make a great subject for black and white, and I like how this photo is similar but different from mine A87962566 - the hazy sun adds more contrast and variety of tones

Your photo would be great as decor for halloween, sasha.
