Monochrome Weekend: Coming in for the landing


My New Year's Wish - Hoping that I may always have wings of hope to glide on even when flying is impossible, and may I always have sturdy boots for kicking the dung. Happy New Year to the monochrome maniacs and may you have a healthy and peacful 2010.

    Happy New Year! Health and Happiness! Wings are helpful, but if we don't have wings we just have to try to get around the obstacle!

    Oh to have wings to soar above this beautiful world! You had composed this so wonderfully that it is a shame that your shutter did not work faster. The idea of the shot is glorious.

    Health and happiness to you for twenty ten.

    Happy New Year, Carver!

    I have been a bad blogger lately and got out of doing the memes. I hope to get back to the mono one soon as it was a fun meme to be apart of.

    Lovely mono shot!

    The "soft focus" gives this an otherworldly quality that I really like! And it's very fitting for the text of the post (or maybe it's the other way around).

    Nice work!
