I took this shot the same evening as Saturday’s posts. I knew the sunset was going to be mediocre, so I thought I’d grab a couple of images in b&w to finish off the roll I had in one of my cameras. Tri-X has such a wide range of tones, and although the colors of the sunset were bleak, the clouds breaking up from the storm that had just ended were creating great shapes that would look well in monochrome. It was a wonderful evening out with older son, who didn’t mind the storm at all and wasn’t bored driving around with Mom.

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For…. Buying us the three wheeler—which every one of us flipped, tipped, and/or rolled at least once!!
Yeah, this is gorgeous in B&W. Is that a dancing hippo I see?
Beautiful scene. I really like this in B&W.
Great shot Micki. Beautiful.
a great shot Micki
and thanks for all your recent comments :o)

Superb shot there. Barron and yet alive.
Nice composition. It really carries that stormy, unsettled feeling.
i readily recognize this as the same location as your PL test shots! :) Hmm... i once read from Charlie Waite that when you shoot a chapel against a mountain range, you should try not to allow the steeple to extend beyond the mountains and into the sky. i thought perhaps the same idea applies for this case as well. The sticks in the water (sorry i really don't know what they are) look funny sticking into the sky...
love the hazy shade of nighttime, especially in bw. nice capture, micki.
Great shot, I really like it
These trees had too much water :-)
Brilliant shot Micki, really like it mate.
This one I love Micki!!! Awesome shot.
A sunset that works in B&W...nice one Micki.
Good old tri-x, makes me want to buy some. Has a timeless feel.
Why don't we ever get such bleak landscapes in the UK? Hmmm.... note to self, I need to travel more. Not to worry, Micki, on my travels, I do intend to come and visit you. But do be warned, I might just not leave... Ever!
Great eerie magical landscape!
An interesting take doing a sunset shot with B&W. I like it. BTW, I like reading your "Things I'm thankful to Cliff for ...". It adds another dimension to your blog.

wow f-22! I like the dead drees poking out of the water, they add a little interesting into the scene.
I think this is a fabulous shot. Perfect for black and white. Lovely.
A lovely soft feel to this one Micki. Chris
Works well in B&W! Almost looks like a painting! - OH, and BTW: It's impossible NOT to flip a 3-wheeler.. Especially when you drive it like it should be!
Lovely. I too like reading the things you are thankful to Cliff for. I missed along the way though exactly who Cliff is.
Hi Micki
Great shot !!

Hope you marked this image for one of your postcard images when you do decide to start banging them out.
Lovely

Beautiful soft contrast - a wealth of subtle detail here.
