Macleay Park in Black and White

According to the Oregon Encyclopedia, "Portlanders have long valued Macleay Park, in Portland’s northwest hills, as a wild oasis close to the city’s core. The nearly 140-acre park has deep ravines shaded by large Douglas-fir and western red cedar trees. Macleay Park also contains the lower portion of Balch Creek, which has a small population of native cutthroat trout. Park trails connect to Forest Park and Audubon Society of Portland wildlife sanctuaries."

I usually photograph Macleay Park in color, to portray its forested beauty. But this time I decided to try monochrome, to emphasize the drama of the scenery and of the underside of the bridge that carries NW Thurman Street over the lower end of the park.
