This is a splendid B/W image Carol. I like the simplicity and your composition is great. I have added it to the B&W Challenge list for when we resume on Wednesday January 15th 2015. I left a message regarding the break on the BWC page HERE
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
