Scenic Landscape

Solar Panels

It’s as if these solar panels were made just for this challenge. I’ve been sitting on these pictures since November 14, 2019. Now they find life in Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge. [Note: I just realized that I forgot to put the logo on for Cee’s Hunt for Joy Challenge. Must do so now. rs]
