I accept the challenge to post five black and white photos for five consecutive days this week. They ask that we include our black and white and its original match and I threw in some extras for fun.

I was challenged by Indah Susanti over at http://indahs.com/ .  Indah has a gorgeous travel blog specializing in underwater photography.  I encourage you to check it out.

As part of the challenge I am encouraged to challenge another blogger I am connected to each day.  Today I challenge

Below are some photos all taken in Paris of an icon, the Eiffel Tower.  I love the striking yellow color of the tower.  but the black and white, to me, is just as interesting and enjoyable to look at.  The light and dark juxtaposed with the modern metalwork never gets old to me.  I threw in some other sites in the city that I find the black and white adds a timelessness to the photo that maybe wouldn’t be there in a color version.
