this is my entry for Leanne Coles Monochrome Madness. Visit her blog for all the great submissions every week.
the treeless spaces on the Orkney Islands (at Skaill House) have a lonely beauty against clouds that appear to be rushing out on the sky’s tide.
___________________________________________
…and I’ve been dreaming a lot lately so I include this in my monochrome collection with a quote from Rumi
“This place is just a dream. When dawn arrives you laugh at what you thought was your grief”
the runes of the gatekeeper's daughter- dedicated to Nick 
Love the color tones you’ve used in this. You say “… windows will sometimes degrade the colour of an image….” And here I thought it was just me. I would work on an image and get it to where I really like it only to post and go “meh”!
