Lens Artists Photo Challenge #390 – Color in Black and White

Egidio’s challenge is Color in Black and White. I wasn’t quite sure how to approach the challenge until I read his post and saw his amazing examples. In his post he tells us “Even when a scene is presented entirely in shades of gray, our brains—conditioned by a lifetime of experience—can effortlessly “see” the familiar hues we expect. We project our own memories onto the print.”

At first I wasn’t sure how to respond to Egidio’s challenge. I ended up having fun as I searched through my archives. I hope you are able to “see” the colors in these images.

Cellpic Sunday – Junkanoo for St. Patrick’s Day

Every year, the Bahamian Junkanoo group Barabbas and the Tribe create special costumes for the St. Patrick’s Day and are a crowd favorite in both the Tybee Irish Festival parade and the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parades.

The fun starts a few days before the big Savannah St. Patrick’s Day parade when twice a night the Junkanoo Band marches through the Crab Shack on Tybee Island to the delight of everyone.

Cellpic Sunday – Smallest Church in America

If you are traveling along I-95 through Georgia and want to take a break The Smallest Church in America is worth the short drive off the interstate. The church is located on the side of the road on US Highway 17 in Townsend, Georgia. There are two picnic tables under the oaks if you want to eat lunch or just relax for a few minutes.

An arsonist burned this church in November, 2015. Volunteers rebuilt the church in 2016.

Directions: Take I-95 exit 67, about one mile south on US Hwy 17. Look for a white sign on the left (east) side, “Smallest Church in America”. You can also search Google Maps for “Smallest Church in America”.
