In a black & white world, everything is laid bare for all to see.
A lack of color
Highlights drama in the skies
In brilliant detail
A lack of color
Gives expression to patterns
Often unobserved
A lack of color
Reminds us of distant times
Dimming yet dazzling
A lack of color
Brings fading autumn blossoms
Back to vivid life
In a black & white world, the loss of color can often lead to seeing things in a new light.

Love your ending and your images definitely prove the point Siobhan. Beautifully done
When I took photography years ago you were required to start with black and white. It's a good thing to get back to once in awhile. 😀
What a creative and beautiful post, Siobhan! I love how you interpreted the challenge. You really highlight the power of monochrome.
Thanks, Patti! A fun challenge.
Great photos, great haikus. Nicely done.
