There is a chill in the air and leaves are beginning to fall along the path of a city walk in Frankfurt, Germany. Snug and secure beneath the arbor that still remains, it is a good day for a stroll. This is my image for this week’s Monochrome Madness Challenge hosted by Leanne Cole. To see all the beautiful entries in today’s challenge post, click over to Leanne’s blog.
Random twigs may reach out here and there to impede the progress of the arrow-straight wisps of water. But the falls continue to cascade down, down, down over the rock face of a gorge in eastern Australia.

Aside from serving as a setting for spooky fiction and a symbol of the American bucolic past, a covered bridge enjoyed a longer life because the exterior protected the wooden timbers of the passageway from the effects of the sun and inclement weather.

The waters of the Indian Ocean lap against the shoreline of this quiet nature reserve in Western Australia. Quiet, that is, until staff bring out buckets of fish and a group of bottlenose dolphins swims up for a snack! Once the dolphins are satisfied, they swim back out to sea.
