The famous Hipgnosis cover of Atom Heart Mother is iconic. I am not sure, but I think this is not a Holstein Cow.

Where Old Meets New aka Advertising Space
This week Lens Artist Photo Challenge #335 is exploring color versus monochrome aka black and white. Compare a color photo with a monochrome print of it. What works better?
A few days ago I published a resembling shot in color and mono. This post differs from the earlier ones. The tree on the right went out of the frame. And a very modern advertising pole pops up in the background.
My love for the bleak colors of Winter’s light are the same. But I prefer this mono version, even if it was originally shot in color. GrainLab is a great tool, and the atmosphere of the photo is ‘old’ but the view is modern.

Merry Christmas
On the eve of Christmas a colorful rose, wishing everybody a merry Christmas. And I can’t resist to put a wish under it from the heart, quoting John Lennon: war is over, just imagine. In 2025 be your own truth, people are not meant to be all the same. One of the joys in life is that we are different, and being different creates the potential for change. As long as we can listen to one another, knowing there is the freedom to choose your own believes and live them without being a threat to the other, there is a future and lots of potential. Love, laugh (especially about yourself), live.
