It’s no secret. I love black and white photographs. There is something special about them. Monochrome images are about differences in tone and texture. In some ways color can be distracting to the viewer. Grayscale removes that distraction and allows the viewer’s imagination to take over. So, without further adieu, here are some black and white images of my recent trip to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

Bob,
Great images!

Thanks for the reminder of how great black and white can be for landscape images. Somehow making them mono brings harmony to the pieces
I do love a good waterfall! I visited Silver Run Falls as well and gave it a mystery night look by shifting the color temperature heavily towards blue https://www.pictorem.com/541265/Silver%20Run%20falls%20waterfall%20near%20Cashiers%20NC.html?iframe=1
The tree in the first image is certainly dramatic although to my eye it sort of blends into the background, almost as if it is camouflaged. Nice capture though!
That beautiful image of a tree could be a book cover. What a distraction color would be – the interest is all in the fantastic details.
I Love the slow shutter black and white water falls shoots.
