Monochrome!

Inspired by yesterday's image I set out this morning to try and be more abstract and to think in monochrome rather than colour.  I also went back to my original practice of shooting with the lens wide open.  Removing colour does somewhat simplify things, trying to concentrate on lines within the image.  This was taken just after 09:30, the light was good and my point of focus was two thirds of the way down the park bench.
