Conversations in achromatic tones - 1

The day has been as gray as it can get today.  The world around seems to have bled out all its colors, and the light permitted to enter it rationed out, like food or cigarettes.  Perhaps it's only befitting then to start my daily photo series with a black and white photograph, bereft of all color.  

I took this photograph in Siena, Italy in December of 2006, during our honeymoon with Agus.  There seems to be a quiet conversation taking place, a kind of a plea being transmitted in toned-down, subtle ways... 

So, I'll call my first week's series just that: Conversations in achromatic tones.   

Perhaps it will do, to solicit the sky for some color, or you for a smile? 

Plea

A Plea. From the 'Streetscapes' series.
