Protea macro in black and white
It’s a grey day today… in more than one way. It’s been raining all night and all day and it’s grey and dark outside.
We’ve also just been put into a higher level of restrictions which feels like a damper on many peoples spirits. We’ve just cancelled a family birthday gathering and bootcamp was via zoom this morning.

So under the circumstances a monochrome post seems fitting.
What happens when you strip nature of all its colour. Is it still nature? Does it still create those same feelings of fresh invigoration?
These photos are from my last two hikes on the Table Mountain Reserve and I’m so glad that I got out there to take the shots.

Luckily our beaches and mountains have been kept open as long as there are no gatherings. So our next multi day hike next week might still happen.

My daughter uses our decent camera for Surf photography and I prefer to only carry my phone when hiking, so all my photos are taken with my iPhone.
I love textures in nature and black and white seems to really enhance the natural effect of the texture, something that the bright and alluring colours sometimes distract us from noticing.
I just like this one. That’s all.
