Hi fellow Hiveians,
Today I wanted to add some throwbacks to the mix for this weeks iteration of Monochrome Monday!
Monochrome Monday Throwbacks
Like many people who enjoy photography, one of the things is that I've got a LOT of pictures stored on my laptop and other devices lol. So many that I couldn't hope to post them all. There are some that end up just getting deleted because it's no sense in me keeping them if they aren't worthy of keeping or posting but there are also those photos that are worth keeping and another group of them are ones that I enjoy and turn into other things like Monochrome Monday pictures.
This week I wanted to enjoy some of the pictures that I've turned into monochrome in the past but not necessarily all in the same series. This is a bit of a random selection but each of these photos are ones that I enjoy!
Starting it off with the miniature train tracks. This place is a favorite of mine, because it's a family members house and boy does it bring back memories! I remember going to their house as a kid and teenager and going straight for the train room. The trains are so much fun to play with and to look at, you can get lost in the set for hours or days just with your imagination. We had a lot of fun playing with these trains here, and it was my sons first miniature train set that he got to sit down up close to and play with. He loved it!
We've been all over the place, and this place is no different. We got down to the Carolinas a few months ago to do a few things, one of them being having a nice family vacation. One of the things that we did and enjoyed was doing some fishing on the pier! The pier here is one that ends up looking very somber and serious, with the steel grey clouds and nobody out and about on the pier. It wasn't the best day weather wise that's for sure but it was great to go. We had a lot of fun and know that we will be back at some point to enjoy more!
Some of my favorite photos for sure are ones that we've taken of the fire. Fire has so many interesting and soothing properties to it, and it's really nice to sit there and stare at a fire. It makes for quite a reflective trip, if you just hang out and enjoy the warmth of it as well as allow the mood of the fire to flow over you. Taking the pictures and turning them into black and white makes them pretty dramatic I think, because it looks much more serious that way! I certainly enjoy the colors but the lack of color here makes it all the more intriguing I think. A lot of power and energy in the simple burning of the sticks!
