Introduction

Hello. So this is the first blog. =]
^^^^
This picture was taken off the internet. It was more colorful, and decided to make it black and whte with a little bit of color. I just really like it because it makes you wonder where the color is coming from
^^^^
I'm not so sure why I like this picture. I think that it's because of the same reason as the other. Although, I didn't do any color splash to this picture.
