Monochrome Monday

I can't deny that I'm pleased to see a change in the weather. Today began with some light rain, but we walked down to buy a paper anyway and while I was waiting outside the shop I thought it would be fun to try to get a picture of George Street with no moving traffic. I stood on the traffic island for ten minutes or more, waiting for the cars to disappear, but as soon as it was clear one way a rush of vehicles came from the other direction! I must have taken a dozen pictures but for some reason the only traffic-free one that I got was mono. The camera had taken it upon itself to turn off the colour and go over to mono. I hadn't touched anything! As it happens though, I rather like the result. Not long afterwards I found that it had reverted to colour! It keeps changing settings - very annoying! I suppose I must do something while it's in my pocket.

Limerick of the Day:

While composing a photo this morning,
Just after the daylight was dawning,
All that colourful light
Rudely turned black and white,
And my camera declined any warning!
