Just sailing by with a reminder about the B & W Wednesday Fun Challenge
We have no new images at all this week so if you can help please pm me with your submission :)

These sails decorate the exterior of the library which is right on the beach front at New Brighton near Christchurch New Zealand. I took the shot to use as a manipulation base but I quite like the lines of it as it is. I have done a couple of manips with it though :)

I like the play of light on these sails, LE. I also like you pun title; one of my favorite songs from a "few" years back.

It makes beautiful B/W image Lyn. Strong contrast with h background.

The symmetry of lines is offset by the lighting angle, creating an interesting image.

I love the title...it makes me hear the old Procol Harum song..A Whiter Shade Of Pale. (I have always loved that song.) This is a very striking shot and very artistic. I love the lighting. Excellent entry for the challenge, too.

I guess all us old timers immediately thought of the old song, LE.
It makes me think of a Regatta.
Outstanding work.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I agree it does look like a giant kite - excellent B&W Lyn.

With your creativity and craftsmanship, I'm sure that this was no problem for you.
Very good find and capture!
