I am going to break my tradition of never posting pictures of myself today. This was a shot I uploaded to Instagram on a day where I ran without goals. No pace, no distance and no time recorded. Just a path and some good music, and even better weather!
This was one of my last runs in Tucson before heading back to Seattle and I was feeling the future pain of training in the wind, rain and cold!
So which version captures the feeling of freedom of running without limits?

The color version of the end of my run
or

The Black and White version
Grab your camera or phone and join Linda from Everyone Else has the best titles and Take the “Black and White and Color” photo challenge!
I really like both of them, but it took the b&w pic to make me notice something really interesting. You caught a halo.in that shot. The fact that it curves around the right-hand upper corner and appears to have spokes is VERY cool!

I actually saw it first in the color one. I liked that affect too 🙂

Fantastic picture. I too love the halo. Very symbolic after hearing the story behind the shot.

The black and white is my favorite too. I first saw the halo in this shoot as well. I had to go back to the colour one to see it. The sign “End of trail” brings a lot to the pic too.

I like the black and white better!
What a wonderful idea to just enjoy the moment, the run, the music and your thoughts. I need to go back to jogging, but have you seen November in Finland? Rainy, dark and very cold- not to mention slippery…
