This is not a fire alarm but an old Danish mail box.
Yep. So I've been told. I should have looked more closely. Thanks.

Do not understand your fascination with black and white! I've really tried to get it, but it eludes me. The mailbox looks natural, but the brickwork just looks dead. If I try to show anything in a photo, I try to portray it in natural colors so the viewer can see what I saw, not what I might imagine. Sorry, but not for me!

Are you familiar with the photography of Ansel Adams? If so, ask yourself why some of his wonderful photos were taken in b&w well into the age of color film. Now I don't claim to be anywhere in his league, and I'm not trying to invoke b&w over color photos. Nor am I trying to get anyone to "get it". I have lots of what I consider beautiful color photos hanging in my house as well as b&w. It's all a matter of my preference as to what I think is important to me and me alone. And, whether color or b&w, I like to share my efforts, just like you. So, rather than dig into my brain trying to understand my preferences, perhaps a nicely put comment about the dead bricks, or a verbal pat on the back for my efforts.
Best wishes and enjoy the craft of photography.
