Black and white and shades of gray
After our stop in Colorado Springs, we headed back south west. Destination: Durango. The drive between Ouray, Colorado, and Durango, Colorado, along the “million dollar” highway (Colorado Highway 550) contains many jaw-dropping views. One of the few cloudy, drizzly days we had on our trip occurred on this road, unfortunately, but it doesn’t diminish the beauty of the Grenadiers, seen here behind Molas Pass Lake. This entire photo was already mostly shades of gray, so I converted it to black and white.

ReplyDeleteThis works really well in B&W.
ReplyDelete256 shades if I remember... this is another enviable shot, who needs sun every day?
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white treatment - it gives it such an old-fashion feeling.
