Currently, I'm taking more photographs in black and white than in color. (Even though the autumn colors are a great temptation.) But b&w brings out the forms and relations much better, and I want to see these things. Here are two photographs from today, taken at the Luukki park.

You have autumn already? Here it still wonderful (late) summer with a fine quality of light and air in the evening.
The b&w turns out well (and the image quality of the full size on flickr is just amazing). It probably doesn't make sense to compare it to color images of the same scenery, the b&w can develop an own inherent quality that makes you forget about the colors. The 1st one of the two images in my opinion has this quality.
Autumn colors are visible spotwise, here and there. Nights are getting cold, daytime it is warmer.
Thanks for the analysis of the photos, I agree that the 1st image wouldn't work in color. In fact, there were many distractions in the scene, for example differently-colored paint spots here and there.
