Default B&W. Bit plain. Just sea and sky really.

On bike tour of Northern France. Stopped to put waterproofs on just before an almighty thunderstorm. Had to keep below 110 mph. Boring!

Northern France

It's beautiful Paul! It was just made for a B&W conversion, look at those fabulous contrasts. I have a heap of pics in my collection that I too think are boring, but as I go through and convert them, it's like they become a new image! I like yours very much - it's simple, yet compelling. Love the dramatic sky.

I had my motorcycle up to 110 once.....felt it start to lose grip with the road....never did it again.....plus you can't enjoy the scenery going that fast! Now if I had had a heavier bike, then ....maybe....

Gorgeous B & W. I love the calm feel just before a storm.
