The theme for January is "Outdoors in Black and White".

This time of year can be very monotone with gray skies, no leaves / flowers, snow, etc... Try to capture some beauty of the outdoors in this monochrome month. Most any camera / photo processing software has an option to convert to black and white (or sepia if you prefer). Then again, this time of year, that conversion may not even be needed.

Here are a couple of examples (though they are from Central IL).
