2012 in review, pt 4, Elements in monochrome

This is the fourth and final part in the series of posts where I pick out favourite photos taken during 2012 and share them with you. This set depicts elements, water, steam, ice, air etc and have all processed as monochrome, here's my selection:

Waterfall, 2 minute exposure

Steam loco 75254, a 0-6-0ST Austerity engine

Frozen canal, lost golf ball

Forth and Clyde Canal, semi-frozen

Standing stone pointing skyward, Kilmartin

Vapour trails cross above Tullibardine Chapel

Stairway to heaven?
