Shuttering Yukon's favorite photos

For The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Metallic." It said to keep the processing simple this week, so I didn't do anything to mine. It's just a scan of a black and white negative - no post-processing effects whatsoever.

"When the world and I were young, just yesterday. Life was such a simple game, a child could play. It was easy then to tell right from wrong. Easy then to tell weak from strong. When a man should stand and fight, Or just go along. But today there is no day or night Today there is no dark or light. Today there is no black or white, Only shades of gray." "Shades Of Gray," by The Monkees. For The Sunday Challenge group, who's theme this week was "Gray."
