My last travel series, which took almost a year to present to you, wore me down a bit. And since that trip, we’ve done even more extensive traveling — Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Prague, back to Cape Town, another cruise up the west coast of Africa and to Saint Helena, and a return to Luxor. Those destinations were over two months-long trips, and I’ll be presenting those to you in the future. As for now, I need a break. So, for the next five weeks I’m going to present a special photographer’s dream — a ghost town. With one exception, all the photographs over the next fifteen articles will be color-filtered black & white. For tips on what that means, see my photography articles: Black & White Photography—It’s All in the Color! and More Fun with Color Filtering for Black & White Photography. As for this series, expect minimal text and maximal photography. The location of this ghost town will remain a secret, for at least most of you, until the last Fun Photo Friday of this series. And while I did all the B&W conversions and most of the photos, some of these were taken by Ursula. Those will be so designated. I hope you enjoy the show!
Слава Україні! (Slava Ukraini!)
