Margaret from From Pyrenees to Pennines hosts Monochrome Madness this week with a theme Where Words Fail, Music Speaks. I have heard music in many countries and it definitely is an international language – it moves us and gives us joy regard of nationality.
Most of my photos are street photographs – and I approached this challenge by just the photos. which could look good as monochrome. I always enjoy the editing process.
Let’s end this post with a happy smile. Embrace the moments of happiness and take time for yourself as you navigate the days ahead. Have a great week ahead, filled with positivity and light!
