At the moment I seem to be attracted to stark images, quiet shadows, monochromatic palettes. Maybe because there’s so much color and noise in the world right now. Take a quiet moment with me.

Thanks for the respite. Your posts are always touching.
Thank you, Cornelia!
Loved your thought about the black and white with so much noise/color (blood red) in world. Particularly liked the first house, the snow the clothes line. This response is at the bottom of your blog. Now going to the other site where I often respond and see which one comes directly to you.
When the pictures in your blog don’t show up, you had told me to click the lilnk at the bottom (includes the letters me plus lots other stuff). So, this is where I come to write comments most of the time, Don’t kjnow which is the one you don’t get.
Thanks, Karen. The problem is resolved.
