Black and White Exploration - Part III

Here is the third installment in my black and white exploration series. This time I have selected photos from our travels last year to California and Oregon, so some of these will look familiar. Again, I went back through my images from last year and converted a bunch that I thought were worthy of experimentation...
View from Cape Lookout.


A typical Santa Ynez field near Dad's place.

I was about as entranced with the clouds as I was with Half Dome and the vastness of the mountain range.




This was a leafbare rain covered tree that just looked so pretty with the sparkling water covering it like jewels.

The beach at Cape Kiwanda.



These are the sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove in Yosemite.




I was amused by this no trespassing sign. Not only was this taken completely seriously, but it just seemed so pointless!





I think this is one of my most favorite shots from our trip to Yosemite last year. It makes me want to go hiking in those mountains over to Half Dome.
