Our son-in-law took us for a drive over to Eklutna Lake, which was not yet completely frozen. The icy shoreline proved irresistible to kids and dog who immediately were running and sliding and having a great time.
I realized I haven’t posted as many black and whites as usual- and I do love black and white. So I converted today’s image into a monochrome, although I think I like it better in color.

This is beautiful and I am always a sucker for a wonderful b/w. I think you should print this one for your family in their Alaska home. So lovely. Have a wonderful holiday.
The landscape by itself is very monochromatic and I too enjoy that bit of blue sky! Lovely photos!
I agree with Debbie, the landscape is monochromatic. Beautiful images.
