Scanned photo of me taken in the 90s after a blizzard. I am eating an orange but it is hard to tell in B&W.

Not really what you were after, but storms and volcanos have been in short supply this week in the UK.20140516-_DSC2305 by apple fanboy1, on Flickr

Lol. I've only just noticed the B&W element to this contest. What a plum! Epic fail on my part. I've quickly converted mine to black and white making it at least 43% worse. Hope it's not too late.

It's not like it's in big letters in the topic or anything.....

I saw yours in colour but nothing twigged …

Shouldn't the contest have closed yesterday? Obviously just hanging on until you'd changed your entry!

Lol. So mean!

To be fair I don't think my effort is troubling the winners this week.

tbh, even though I gazed at the photo more than thrice, for some reason the colour did not register as a no-no. maybe the overwhelming brit grey weather was a crucial factor

strange
