Monochrome Monday an old lamp and bending the rules

This is a post for Monochrome Monday hosted by @old-guy-photos A challenge I try to join as often as I can, the other challenges he hosts are Sepia Saturday and Tree Tuesday, all fun challenges and worth checking out.

For this weeks post, me being the rule breaker I am I am actually going to start with a color shot and then move to Monochrome, why may you ask, well I like the color shot and many just see the first shot and do not scroll down to see the other photos, so if your here to see mono do scroll down,
On a visit to Central Park recently I came across this cool Lampost that I thought would look good in Mono, but as I said when I edited the shots this first one just looked better in Mono

I think with all the colors around this lamppost it just looked so much better in color, but now lets see some of it in Mono

Starting with the base and the cool Cherubs and ornate detail
