I took the photo above and turned it into a black and white to enter the black and white photo challenge:travel this week. I love the color version and a friend wanted to see it so here it is for others too who would like to see it.
Below is my second entry for the black and white Challenge. If you like it, please go and vote for me! https://steemit.com/bwphotocontest/@lolomarie/black-and-white-photo-contest-travel-entry-two

My photo is of a very, very old western saddle with wood and leather stirrups!
I took a photo of this marvelous, thrown to the side, outside in a heap, very old saddle sitting in an old wooden boat. The colors are awesome but of course, this is a black and white challenge. I found it in Tempe, Arizona in 2006 but unfortunately I can't recall what make of Camera I was using at the time which may disqualify me from competition. I submit it anyhow as I like the photo and riding horses was one of our very first modes of transportation!
The top of the photo, you can see the old, wooden horn the cowboy would have held or wrapped his rope around. The view is from the top of the saddle. On each side, 3/4 of the way down, you can see the ornate but cracked wooden stirrup holders and leather. I wish I knew the age of this beautiful piece, would have loved to snatch it but I'm no theif and it wasn't my property.
