This statue, commemorating some war hero or other (I know, I should have photographed the plaque so that I could remember!) was along the lake front. It was very unusual and I immediately saw it in black and white, especially against the stormy sky.
great application of b/w on the odd structure which i happen to like.

Great composition, despite the statue it feels like there is a sense of motion. maybe helped along by the brewing storm?

A bit of perfection. I love the way the anchor balances the much larger anchor.
