Black & White Challenge 2014 - EN

In October 2014 I was nominated by a Facebook Friend for the Black & White Challenge. This appeared to be a challenge for 5 consecutive days every day to upload a selfmade black & white photographs (monochrome).

I made a choice of several images that would be appropriate to post for this challenge. It seemed I had more than five possible candidates.

 

First one is a timeless picture of the market of my hometown Eersel in wintertime. It shows the old pump of the village and a chappel at the background with a Christmas stable in front of it.

It has been taken in december 2010 just a day after Bibberblues Festival. Because there are no cars visible and with all the snow it looks like an old postcard .

Next is a picture at a traffic Fly Over at The Hogt in Veldhoven nearby Eindhoven, its part of the surrounding highway around the city from north to south.

Completely different scenery is the Neo Gothic entrance of the guesthouse and conference center at Postel Abbey with distinctive masonry arches.

My fifth monochrome photo is from summer 2014 on a nearby natural landscape area called Cartierheide wich is a heathland with several touristic sight seeing and walking routes.
