Dear Gert,
I reserve my right as an artist to be unpredictable in my preferences of BW/Colour! ;-)
Regarding my photo, thank you very much for your kind words, despite its not a nothing special. I promise I will show you that kind of photo in this series.
The ice was the remaining of the last few days with some minus 7 Celsius. My poor dad had a high blood pressure in the past few days for a reason. This whimsy weather is no good for old men...
Best Wishes,
Gy.
