My Neighborhood in Black and White

I was happy to discover Sonel’s Corner a few days ago and today I decided to jump in and post my first entry in her new black and white photo challenge. The themes are suggested by readers and this week is set aside for images of your neighborhood. I’ve posted photos of what I loosely consider my neighborhood before but this time I am trying a more literal approach and have limited myself to shots only from my street. Maybe the black and white treatment will make them look more interesting…

To see more Black and White Neighborhoods take a look at Sonel’s Corner and the new Black and White Weekly Photo Challenge.

  Thanks, I thought it might change up the view a little. 😉 The mailboxes were my last photo – I’m glad I stopped for one more!

  Thanks, so do I. I love color but sometimes B&W is just the right choice.

I also enjoyed the B&W pictures. They draw my eyes to details that I would have missed with color pictures.

  Thanks – I agree with you about looking at scenes in B&W. Sometimes it is more relaxing for me to just focus on details instead of vivid colors.

  Thanks. 🙂 When we moved here it took us a few days to find the mailbox as it is almost 1 block from our house!
