 Ok, RoB. You know your abstracts do not do well in challenges. So what were you thinking.

Glad you asked.

This is an abstract of the Municipal Services Building in Philadelphia. It is across the street, North of City Hall.

Here is what I see. The window shades are variations of grey. The are lined up as if they were on paint samples. The title is a pun. It is not black and white. But there are lots of shades and color shades of grey. OK? Hope so.
Thanks.

Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Two Layer adjustments for levels in order to make the shades as grey as possible resetting the grey point each time. Layer of brightness and contrast. Layer of hue saturation with the hue and saturation set a -10 and the lightness to -2. I wanted a slight desat for the grey but did not want to go anywhere near BW. I think there is enough blue left. Adjust Sharpness. Crop to lose some blue shades on the right and to lessen the dark blue on the top left corner. Spot edit bright white spot on one of the shades towards the left corner. Resize. USM.
