    What a glorious set of B&W pics. They feel like the snow arrived early, although there's none to be seen.

    I love the second one especially because of the reflection in the tiles. Awesome, Stewart.

    The Grosmont train for me, please! Maybe because I have taken it?

    All excellent captures, a very nice B&W series. I want to go to Scarborough Fair and soak at the spa in the open air, while being entertained with theatre.

    Of course I am going to adore these being monochrome. The second one just took my breathe away. I never knew such a place existed here.

    Glorious. The bay shot held me mesmerized. All are so nice. I like the way B&W makes me see the shape of things and the relationship between shapes. Great stuff.

    B&W worlds can also look superb. My son has been asking if everything was in Black and white once upon a time...

    Great to see those familiar places in B&W , because when I was young everything was in B&W, not only photos but political views and religeous ideas also. The latter have become more complicated and confusing. I don't mind that. We have become more aware of other cultures and opinions. Life is more colourful in all respects.
