Black and White Wednesday

 This is a picture I took using the self-timer on my camera.  I was alone in a hotel room - the view was beautiful, but it wasn't home.

Check out other lovely black and white photos here.

    I totally agree with Lisa! Beautiful capture! It makes me want to take a deep breath in and exhale out the stress! Thank you for sharing!

    I read a few of your posts and realized that you are a fellow Canadian! Very cool and your babies are OH SO ADORABLE! I am going to have to come back and read more of your story.

    I love this picture and am sure that the color version just wouldn't give the same feeling to the picture... oh, what I wouldn't give to be in a hotel room alone right now...the kids are on their 3rd snow day...ugh!!

    I love this photo! The composition is right on the money. The meaning behind it can go both ways... longing to be at home or loving the solitude.

    Great job!

    most beautiful b&w i've seen yet.

    i love the solitutude of the figure-- so separated and withdrawn.

    gorgeous.

    (not to mention-- you have twins? yeah, you know about separation from life, don't you? mine just turned 12 months . . .)

    What a beautiful image. It evoked so many emotions. And when I read the last line about it not being home it totally connected. Perfect!

    This is a beautiful photo. Calm and nostalgic. Really wonderful, and the black and white really makes it feel classic too. Great job!
