After showing the photo last weekend of one of my favourite images I decided to go back and take a look through the folder of that day in Tasmania. There were so many photos there that I always meant to do something with and never did. Guess what? Today I did something with a few of them.
This series starts with the same tree from Honeymoon Bay but from a different angle. I look at this now and wonder why I havn’t used it before.
The next two are taken down at the waterside in Coles Bay. It looked so lovely and serene, unfortunately it wasn’t like that. Someone was flying a drone around and it was noisy and so annoying. I hate drones. I hate the noise they make, they always make me think of mosquitos. Not a noise I like. I think that is part of the reason why I never really wanted one. I considered it for a while, but then decided not to get one and part of that reason is the sound they make.
The last two were taken from a bridge in Orford as we were on our way to Hobart. Just before we crossed the Prosser River we stopped and I got out to take some photos. Those were taken either side of that bridge.
It is nice to be going through old folders in my archives and seeing what I can process now. It also brings back some great memories.
Next week is another theme and we have a new host, though one of the original contributors to Monochrome Madness. Stupidity Hole started way back when with this challenge and it is great to finally have him as a host. He wants us to do HANDS.
I thought we had done this one already, but we haven’t. I am going to have to go hunting for images.

I LOVE the drama in these images. Stunning.
Thank you so much, that’s great.
Such strong images.
Thank you Geoff.
Your black and white shots are always so good. The light in them really shines through
Thank you so much Alison. That is nice of you to say.
I’m so glad you found and shared these images Leanne, they are beautiful – especially that Honeymoon Bay tree!
I am too, I think it is a reminder to go back and take a look at old photos. Stopping at Honeymoon bay was so worth it. Thank you Sarah.
These all work so well in monochrome. I particularly like the tree shot. Me? I’m cheating a bit this week, and sharing you with the Lens-Artist Challenge: https://margaret21.com/2025/02/12/colour-or-black-and-white/ Next week’s challenge is a bit of a facer! I’m not sure if I can deliver the goods on that at all!
Thank you Margaret. I quite like the tree too.
Trees amaze me with their resilience!
They are very resilient. Thanks Esther.

That tree shot is just gorgeous! How can it have lain dormant all this time?
I didn’t work on it before because I had done a lot of work on another image of the same tree, but I do find it weird that others haven’t found it, especially since the tree from just up further north is gone. Thank you Jo.
Wow, Leanne. These are a treat and beautiful.
Thank you so much Anne.
