I went through all the wood — and there’s a lot of it, both in color and black & white and tried to pick as many varied examples as I could. It made for some hard decisions. I was looking for both contrast and texture.
Love especially the dock, the teepee poles and the ironwood – and it’s true, b&w photos bring out the structure and grain much better than colour ones.
I’ve always thought so, though I don’t think it brings out tone as well as color does. But when texture and contrast are the issues, B & W works brilliantly.

black and white really brings out the detail in wood. Love your choices

All are ageless and brimming over with stories. I like Main Street best. Kind of a Steinbeck/”Grapes of Wrath” feel.

That is one steep stairway there. Wouldn’t want to fall down that.

I will clamber up it if I’m feeling able, but I won’t go down it. Too steep!

I love that dock, too. It has washed away a couple of times in recent storms, but they always repair it.
