Mono Monday some random images

I hope you all had a good weekend, and wishing you all a good week ahead.
As I usually do I am starting the week of posts with a few mono images.

When I start thinking about preparing a Mono Monday post, I start by looking through my edited photos and seeing what shots I have already edited in mono, then I would normally pick one or two and then go and look for some similar shots to edit and have a theme for a post.

But today I am doing something a bit different as I found a few images I had already edited and realized I had a bunch that I doubt I would ever come up with a few more of the type of any of them, and that I would either never get around to sharing them, or I should just put a bunch of them together in a post which is exactly what I am going to do.

This first shot is of one of the green houses in a small gardens that are open to the public here called Haskell Gardens.
I took shots looking into each of the three or four greenhouses there, the others had plants growing in them and nice greens so I couldn't bring myself to edit them in mono, but this Greenhouse as you can see is empty and I think makes for a cool mono shot

Next up why not a shot of my camera which I use to take most of the photos I share in my posts

And a Kiwifruit

Now you may be thinking why I am I saying Kiwifruit and Not Kiwi alone as it is called here, well let me tell you

this fruit was originally called Chinese Gooseberry, and in parts of New Zealand it grows really well and the board that markets it and ships them around the world, decided many years ago to call them Kiwifruit, as a Kiwi is a Bird indigenous to NZ and also the name people from NZ call themselves.

However they never trade marked the name and now it is grown as Kiwi Fruit and Kiwi in many countries.

They did a few years back try to change the name for NZ grown Kiwifruit to Zespri, I have no idea how they came up with that name and it never took off.
