Lack of color conveys desolation. Though this scene I captured on my way to the grocery store isn't monochromatic, it still looks apocalyptic to me - am I reading into things? Am I keying into things that are used in cinema and TV to convey bleakness? Or is it also the obvious remnants of past destruction (the sawn off tree stumps left in the lake) that add hopelessness to this scene? Yes, it's a beautiful scene, and isn't lacking in color, but the heaviness of the clouds, the lack of warm colors and apparent abandonment of purpose speaks to me.
