I delved into my collection of photographs and found some of my all-time favorites monochrome images. The captivating essence of the sea is a recurring theme in most of these photos. However, amidst the sea-themed photos, there are two exceptional ones that stand out – “The wheels” and “The monk.” These images hold a different kind of allure, offering a unique perspective and adding depth to the collection.


There’s something about the sea and its surroundings that resonates deeply within me. The tranquil yet dynamic atmosphere, the soothing sound of the waves, and the rugged beauty of lighthouses never fail to captivate my heart. These elements have a way of inspiring a sense of adventure, peaceful introspection, and a profound connection with nature. It’s moments like these that remind me of the sheer beauty and wonder that surrounds us, urging me to capture them and hold onto their essence forever.






Monochrome Madness – Some of my all time favourites was what Leanne had on her blog, I thought I’d follow her lead.

I think the one with the nets, the boat in the background and the threatening clouds is breathtaking !
Thanks, Breathtaking – wow. Appreciate it
I like the one with the nets also, but all of the images are interesting and worth viewing.
Thanks Vicki, glad you think so 😀
All of these are great, but that opening shot is especially stunning and I also love the one of the monk and the dead tree with the bridge 🙂
Thanks, I took lots of photos at Hailuoto ( the opening shot) this was one of the favorites.
Awesome monochrome images Ritva!
Glad you enjoyed them Anne!
😊
These are wonderful Ritva. I must agree with Bushcrafter about the boat with the nets image. It’s stunning
Thanks Tina, I also am very happy with that one.
Your monochromes are wonderful, Ritva. I especially love the monk, the Header and the joyful youngster.
The monk is an all time favorite of mine, as is the boy on the rock.
😁🩵
Love these images, Ritva, especially the bridge and tree, and the nets, boat and stormy sky – excellent monochrome images
Thanks Sue, I do enjoy black and white photography, so I am happy to hear you loved these
Those are beautiful black and white photos. I especially liked the lighthouse on the cliff.
Thomas, lighthouses are just beautiful in monochrome, well in color too.
All lovely, Ritva, but I like the header, the bridge and tree, and the one of the cogs that most. You do monochrome so well!
The cogs ( thanks for the word for them) is one of my most liked photos. Thanks Janet
Could also be gears.
You’ve reminded me that I am remiss in not thinking about black-and-white treatments for too long, now.
These are fantastic Ritva, I especially love the shot that is the header. It is wonderful. I almost missed this, it didn’t come up in the reader.
Thanks Leanne, happy to see that you still found them
