These rail tracks stretch as far as the eye can see into the far peaks. It almost seems like one's journey will never end!

@ Foggy Valley
"What's black and white and makes lots of noise?" asked Snazzy chuckling.
fancy sighed heavily. "A piano played by an orangutan?" she hazarded.
Snazzy looked miffed. "It's a zebra with a drum!"
fancy was unimpressed. "How would a zebra play a drum? A piano is a much better answer," she said curtly.
Foggy Valley
An atmospheric picture of a tree lined valley filled with evening fog, lying thick in some places but thinning in others, evokes a feeling of gloom and foreboding. Let's hope the morning sun will dispel the fog and make it a happier place!

@ Big Ben at Night
Snazzy and UsagiDot shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Snazzy. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said UsagiDot. “This is my best side.”
Big Ben at Night
A striking night scene of Westminster Bridge in London with Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster in the background.

"I've bought so many souvenirs from the gift shop already my rucksack's almost full!" said Hershel.
"Me too!" said Snazzy. "It's great on this tour, isn't it?"
Retro Store, Route 66
Here's a scene to take y'all back! Get your Ford's tank filled with gas and pick up your groceries at the Hackberry General Store on Route 66, Arizona. Those were the days!

@ Grazing Horse
"My Goth friend told me she'd stop wearing black on one condition, lady lovely," said Snazzy.
"What was that?"
"That they made a darker colour!"
Grazing Horse
His work done for the day, this black and white beauty crops grass in the misty dusk.

“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Snazzy?” Sunshine said.
“It certainly would, Sunshine!" said Snazzy.

@ Swiss Peaks
"I've bought so many souvenirs from the gift shop already my rucksack's almost full!" said Kitty.
"Me too!" said Snazzy. "It's great on this tour, isn't it?"
Swiss Peaks
Battenburg? Did someone say Battenburg? I'll have me some of that marzipan covered sponge confection! Oh! No, it's the Beatenburg Mountains in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. In stark black and white, this makes a striking scene!

@ Black & White Tea Rose
"'We are 10% more likely to remember something that we see in colour than something we see in black and white'," announced Snazzy.
"Well, that makes sense, I suppose!" said Robby.
Black & White Tea Rose
Traditionally one thinks of red roses, perhaps because so many have been immortalized in prose. White is light and airy, offering the same rich aroma.

@ Baroque Ballroom
"My Goth friend told me she'd stop wearing black on one condition, Zoe," said Snazzy.
"What was that?"
"That they made a darker colour!"
Baroque Ballroom
Imagine being back in the 19th century, having been invited to dinner in this stately home followed by dancing in this splendid ballroom. With its high, arched windows, ornate chandeliers, and musicians tuning up their instruments ready for the formal dancing to start, men in formal tailcoats and the ladies in graceful, long dresses, it would be the start of a gorgeous and convivial evening!

@ Raven at Halloween
"'We are 10% more likely to remember something that we see in colour than something we see in black and white'," announced Snazzy.
"Well, that makes sense, I suppose!" said Sir Fluffle Bottom.
Raven at Halloween
Is this brooding raven waiting to unleash his inner ghoul this Halloween as he perches alone on the stark leafless, twisted branches of this autumnal tree?

@ My Old Dutch
"According to our brochure, a black car is more likely to be involved in an accident than any other colour," remarked Maxwell."
"Makes sense!" replied Snazzy. "And I suppose white cars are the least likely to be involved in an accident?"
"You are correct!"
My Old Dutch
Here we have a splendid black-and-white Dutch guinea pig and a self-coloured black, meaning it is black all over. Guinea pigs are herd animals and must have companionship of their own kind. A guinea pig should never be kept on its own.

@ Retro Chalkboard
"Oh, Snazzy! You know that dark grey you see as soon as you turn off the lights—just before complete darkness takes over or your eyes adjust to the lack of light?" asked Choose a name.
"Er—no, but yes?"
"It has a name! It's known as "Eigengrau. It's a German word meaning 'intrinsic grey'".
"Wow!"
Retro Chalkboard
It's just the type of item you might spot when rooting through vintage shops or junk stores. This slightly battered chalkboard is a handy piece of paraphernalia to salvage and display proudly in your modern kitchen, combining retro style and practical use! "Put the recycling out tonight!" — "Get ½ lb butter" — "Football practice on the 5th" — each reminder can simply be rubbed off and another chalked in its place when necessary!

Come! Wade out into the pond and splash around in the fountain! Never mind those police, they just want a splash too!

“Oh hello, Snazzy!” cried Geoffrey. “Didn’t we bump into each other in Prince Edward Island in September? This is quite the change of scene, isn't it!”
"It certainly is, Geoffrey!"
Nifty Note

Oh look ... an appropriately coloured pet!
Black & White Chess
Strategy will be tested today, slowly moving pawns, queens and bishops in an intricate dance across the squares, who will check the king?

“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Snazzy?” Winter said.

@ Gossiping Zebras
"'We are 10% more likely to remember something that we see in colour than something we see in black and white'," announced Snazzy.
"Well, that makes sense, I suppose!" said Darkling.
Gossiping Zebras
"Hey, don't look round—no, I said don't look! Oh, you looked. Well, what's that human over there up to? It had better not get too close ... is it admiring our beautiful black and white stripes? Such dull creatures humans are! C'mon, let's get back to grazing ... "

@ Faithful Labrador
"Quiz question, Inukshuk! Name three flags whose colours are black and white only."
"That sounds quite difficult, Snazzy! Does the Jolly Roger count?"
"That's on the list! Two others are Brittany in north-west France, and the south-west English county of Cornwall."

@ Brooding Black Cat
Snazzy and Rufus shook paws, said “How do you do?” and posed for a souvenir photo. “Why am I always on the left?” grumbled Snazzy. “Let’s change sides.”
“No,” said Rufus. “This is my best side.”
Brooding Black Cat
You will provide an adequate supply of palatable food. You will not attempt to give me orders of any kind. You will not attempt to give me a bath. You will not tickle my tummy unless I give express permission. You will provide a warm, comfortable space where I can sleep most of the day, and you will not disturb me. Is that clear, human?

@ Black & White Keys
“A picture of this would look lovely printed on Christmas cards, wouldn't it, Snazzy?” Daba said.

“Some of these exhibits are so quaint!” Angel said.
“Yes," said Snazzy, "and then the next exhibit has something really awe-inspiring!"

@ Solitude
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Frisky said, offering Snazzy a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Frisky!" said Snazzy.
Solitude
Climb this hill and at the top, rest in solitude on this thoughtfully provided bench under a bare tree. Gaze out on the scene below you to the far horizon. It's a good place to practise meditation in peace or simply enjoy nature.

@ Fog in the Park
“If there's time at the end when we get back tonight, I might do some initial sketches for a watercolour painting," Lunar said, offering Snazzy a toffee from the bag and then unwrapping one for himself.
“That sounds like a good plan, Lunar!" said Snazzy.
Fog in the Park
The road through the park in this Victorian-looking scene is full of atmosphere and mystery .... at any moment a two-wheeler hansom cab with its single horse might come bowling down this street, bearing the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes in pursuit of clues on his latest case!

@ Black & White Earth Tree
"Why must zebras be the oldest animals on earth?" queried Bearnadette.
"Why?" said Snazzy suspiciously.
"Because they are still black and white!"
Black & White Earth Tree
Branches devoid of all color, but the hint of spring brings the dormant tree slowly to life, promising coming colors.

@ Matterhorn Peak
As Snazzy's tour of "World of Black and White " comes to an end, he receives a seasonally appropriate gift!
Butterfly Migration
The last of the season's butterflies are carried along by the faintest hint of a warm breeze as they migrate south before the chill arrives.
Matterhorn Peak
The iconic symbol of Switzerland, the Matterhorn, is one of the most famous mountains in the world. At its foot is the village of Zermatt, a village famous for its hiking and skiing opportunities.
