I recently posted some photos of Drumheller onto my Flickr stream. Thanks to everyone who went by for a visit.
One of you, Flickr user nokkie1, suggested I try a high-contrast black-and-white version of a photo I originally posted in colour.
They are both shown below.

No exit

No exit, V 2.0 (in black and white)

I like the ominous nature of the sky versus the relatively colourful landscape on the colour image. However, I quite enjoy the other-worldly feel of the monochrome image.
Now, over to you. Which do you prefer?

Solemn winter sky

From back in January February. Happily, there won’t be too many more of these until next year.
