I have loved this autumn. Last week, I was on the grounds of Todmorden Mills Heritage Site to see an art exhibit and enjoy the still colourful day before the more muted part of autumn arrived. A few years ago, I started experimenting with black and white photography in the fall just to see what would arise in a season that is so much about intense colour. I did this again last week and came up with this photo that looks, to me, a lot like a painting although I didn’t plan it that way. It’s not edited, except to decrease the size for the blog post.

I have the same reaction, this photo is very painterly, a landscape from many years ago. I am drawn into the story, who lives in the house, who lives outside the house? Black and white, and more accurately shades of grey, are so evocative of our history.
Thank you once again for your thoughtful comment.
