Perspectives photo challenge in Black and White

I wanted to participate in the black and white photo challenge but I couldn't get it posted on Friday. I think you will agree that these are some of my best photos and I am so excited to share them with you. The first two are in Seattle. The space needle is my number one photo, in my opinion. The final photo was in Australia and I don't know which beach but it was definitely the east coast. I would also like to share with you about perspectives. My husband and I were separated for two years because he was in grad school in another state. It was the hardest two years of my life and I didn't have enough of a support system. It was critical that I kept my perspective in check and stay positive. There were a lot of times I wasn't successful. There's always going to be some form of stress in my life and I am focusing on staying positive.
