Monochrome Madness — 2026.01.22

This week is a free non-themed week for Monochrome Madness. I took my inspiration from Leanne’s Carousel image. Having just been to the Boardwalk on the Beach for New Year’s, I thought hey, I could show y’all the Ferris Wheel.

Coleman and I walked up and down the beach and down S. Ocean Boulevard enjoying the views. The Ferris Wheel known as SkyWheel soars 200 feet above Myrtle Beach. The amusement park is closed for the winter so no rides were possible. ( I don’t think I would want to be suspended, even temporarily, 200 feet in the air. The views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Grand Strand would be astounding. I’ll stick with my views from ground level, those were awesome in and of themselves.

Here are two (2) images I snapped of the SkyWheel …

Like I stated earlier I didn’t have much as you can see, maybe next time I’ll have a better selection. Until then, happy shopping, happy photographing.

Venus – Jupiter Visible Shortly Before Sunrise

Weekend Sky

Six Word Saturday

Skywatch Friday

Early every morning when Coleman and I walk to the bus stop we look up in wonder at the Morning Sky.

Most mornings lately we have had cloudy skies; some white clouds and some dark thunderous clouds, but today not so.




Today, the skies were clear with “stars” shining brightly. What I did not realize until after Coleman was on the bus and I was back home was that the brightest “Stars” we were seeing were not actually “Star” at all.



What we really saw in the early morning skies were the planets Venus, Jupiter and more dazzling images.

Hopefully you are able to see what we saw. It was an amazingly awesome sight to watch.

2025 Monochrome Madness (MM) — Railway Cars at a Standstill

Coleman’s favourite things are Trains of any kind. He can play with or watch trains go by all day long if he could. When we are at the bus stop very early in the mornings we are able to watch the trains go down the track, not every day, but most mornings and quite often in the afternoons as well.

This morning Coleman noticed the Train was not moving …

… it was merely standing still …

… Not moving at all … Coleman decided there was something wrong …

… then he noticed a light shining on the train … The Railway workers were inspecting the Train.

Note: They got it rolling again before he arrived back after school.
