Kings Head, Waitpinga

I've been re-looking at the film archives on the iMac and I came across  these photos of Kings Head, Waitpinga. I haven't looked at this particular archive in years. I cannot remember when these two photos were made. They were  probably made just before  we moved down to live at Encounter Bay on the southern coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula. 

That was  roughly when I decided to return to  photographing  with  black and film in response, or a reaction  to,  digital and colour. The latter had a tendency to make things look pretty --- too pretty.  Would black and white film enable me to move away  from beauty? To represent, through abstracting from colour,  the more rugged  features of the coastline's rock formations?
