On ABC Wednesday I featured a photo of this beautiful beach in Hawaii. It was a bright, sunny gorgeous day where the blues of the ocean and skies and the greens of the grass and trees really jumped out at you from the photo.
I wanted to once again feature another beach photo but on this day it was a bit rainy, the wind was really kicking and there were these dark storm clouds hovering above, preventing the sun from shining through.
These photos are of the Marina Grande Beach in the seaside town of Positano on the Amalfi Coast of Southern Italy. Being there at that moment made me realize that there are just some places in this world that remain gorgeous, even in bad weather.

In keeping with the mood presented by the weather, I decided to post process my original photos in Black and White. Back in the old film days I used to really enjoy taking and processing B&W photos. I remember the excitement I had watching as the images came to life in the dark room. Now it is a matter of one click on a software like Photoshop CS4 which is what I used and voila.
And in case you're wondering, here is one of the photos in it's original color. :)
