Monochrome Madness (25) – Devil’s-bit
This is my next (the first photo) entry to the Monochrome Madness Challenge (MM) hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky so happy to be able to be part of this talented group!. I have not done a black and white entry of a flower for them for this week( 25), so here is Succisa pratensis, Devil’s-bit or Devil’s-bit Scabious ,…. I think it looks good in monochrome.

Monochrome Madness (24) – Young boy
This is my submission to week 24 to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I like the expression caught by the camera, my son had just woken up and was in no mood to be photographed. I think it is captured in this shot. I like that is not a posed shot.

I chose these photos because I liked the looks of these books as they are, old hardcover books are so beutifully binded.They are also well read and that is the so important in a book… I thought they would look good also in BW. Hope you agree.

Monochrome Madness (19)- Billnäs
One of these photos is my submission to week 19 to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.
All details can be seen better by clicking at an image to enlarge them.
I visited the small town of Billnäs last weekend such a pictureque place. These pictures are details of one of the mills machines.
Carl Billsten founded Billnäs ironworks in 1641. In Billnäs many buildings remain from the end of the 18thcentury. Nowadays, Billnäs is known for the world-famous orange-handled scissors made by Fiskars Oy, the knife and tools manufacturer.
Billnäs has become an important centre for building renovation in Finland thanks to “Byggnadsapoteket” (the house repairing consultants) who also run courses in-house restoration. The ironworks area has a gardening history dating back more than 350 years, and the oldest plant nursery in Finland.
Billsten`s period (1641-1723)The location of Ironworks was good – In Billnäs the River Mustio has a large precipice so there was no need for larger weir. Also the transport connections from sea and land were good. Alike the needed expendable wood was received from the forests in the surroundings of Billnäs.

Monochrome Madness (18)- Old Tallinn Town
This is my week 18 submission to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky.
These are taken from The Towers Square in Tallinn. All Photos can be enlarged by a click.
Built up from the 13th to 16th centuries, when Tallinn – or Reval as it was known then – was a thriving member of the Hanseatic trade league, this enclosed neighbourhood of colourful, gabled houses, half-hidden courtyards and grandiose churches is, quite rightly, the city’s biggest tourist draw. And the fact that it’s all neatly packaged within a mostly intact city wall and dotted with guard towers gives it an extra dose of fairytale charm.
Tallinn Old Town is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Monochrome Madness (14)- coffee pot and milk cannister
This is my week 14 submission to the Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole and Laura Macky. I took these to photograph something grey, but these also looked good in Black and White. So this and the fact that I have no access to my photo achieves at the moment are the reason for these photos. I was lazy, did not even clean the dust of them…
