Life in Colour

To find out more about this year’s photo challenge here on Travel Words, please read this post.

This month we will be looking for Black or Grey. Black is not a colour at all. Theoretically it is the absence of all colour. Yet black is distinctive. Lines are bolder, shadows deeper, colours brighter against a black background.

This month is not about creating black and white photographs, but in finding the true blacks or greys in a colourful world.

Heyjude

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

    1. Thanks Pete! Weirdly just had someone ‘like’ 70+ posts on the Cornish blog, without even following. What’s that all about? 🙄

  6. That black-faced sheep is very good-looking – and a great image for the theme. 🙂

      1. As a kid I used to love watching the lambs play ‘King of the Castle’ on a little lump of high ground in the field opposite our house. They were so funny and sweet.

    1. Thanks Terri. I guess we don’t really think about the blacks and greys around us as other brighter colours attract more attention.
