Intentionally Black

@wwwiebe has started a new Photo Challenge for 2020 And Created a new Account for the challenge,@photo52, the introductory post for this challenge can be found here Photo52 Challenge Post and this weeks challenge here

I thought it is such a cool idea and decided to try and join as often as I can, this weeks theme is Black and hence my title
Now it does State in the post

a person takes one photo every week based on a pre-defined weekly theme

This weeks theme is black and I went for a walk yesterday looking for shots that would fit the category, and I will include those later inthe post as well but for my entry for this contest I have gone for a Black and White image of the iced up fountain at Bryant Park also taken this week as an option for this contest, I do have other shots of it to edit which may well go in a future post

This was the other shot I was debating to use as my entry the lamp inthe shot is black but I thought this shot worked best in B&W

And another option I had with the cool black street lamp and the black on the stained glass windows of the Central Synagogue in Manhattan on Lexington by 55th Street.
