The textures and contrasts of sculptures and carvings work so well in black and white. Great topic, Cee!. It gave me a reason to revisit one of my favourite local places: Waverley Cemetery.

Would you believe I had to post this five times? The first time I had posted it before I realized it was the Black & White challenge, so i had to trash the post and go back and edit all the pictures. Then the next three times I kept forgetting to save the posts and so they vanished! On the fifth try, finally a success of sorts. This has not been a good day in any respect.Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Sculpture, Statues, Carvings | lifelessons – a blog by Judy Dykstra-Brown
