I am always fascinated by silhouettes. I also seem to do a lot of sky watching these days. This shot of a farm hedge in one of the fields behind the house was taken late one winter’s afternoon using the Dynamic Monochrome setting on my Lumix compact camera. There was just enough light left. I added the blue-ish tint in Microsoft Picture Gallery.
This week for Black & White Sunday Paula asks us to post a favourite b & w photo, so this is one of mine. You have the rest of the week if you want to join in, but please visit Paula’s blog where you will find more ‘favourites’.

That looks quite a wild sky, Tish
Our view towards Wenlock Edge is rather like having a moving painting outside the back door. There’s always something interesting going on there, and sometimes the wildest looking skies happen when it is very still, as in this pic. Oh, how one can pass too much time just watching the weather 🙂
And I get wonderful sunsets from my kitchen window…many an idle time spent there!
a moving sky too Tish – you captured the momentum
Thank you, Laura. That comment makes me very happy 🙂
Beautiful.
Stunning!
There is a master painter in the sky with a dramatic brush. I so love this, Tish. Very pleased to have you joined in.
Just my thoughts. We have one ace sky-painter over the Edge 🙂
Beautiful, Tish, and I like the angle you chose for the shot. In the U.S., Montana is known as Big Sky because it’s so open and you can see forever.

Big Sky county – how lovely 🙂
The sky does seem especially big there as you can see for many, many lovely miles.
A wonderful shot, Tish. That sky looks quite menacing, especially with the silhouette of the tree.
Terrific, Tish!
Did your big sky deliver any shooting stars last week Tish?
Oh dear. I didn’t stay up long enough to look. I always have this notion of going up Windmill Hill to watch. Not made it yet.
Great photo!
Thank you, Kendall
Welcome Tish!
I always think of the music when I hear the name.Great to live so near it I think
I’m a sky gazer too. 🙂 This is lovely!
There’s so much to look at up there, and especially when the ironing is piling up down below 🙂
Oh, don’t! 🙂
Beautiful, Tish. It looks almost outworldly. An as-yet unknown planet and its terribly close moon. Can Darth Vader be far lurking behind it?
Yikes. So that was the dark shape I glimpsed lurking behind the hedge 🙂
It’s a beautiful photograph.
Many thanks 🙂
