Week One
looking out to sea
wondering when you’ll return
summer nostalgia

Original Photo
For this week’s One Four Challenge hosted by Robyn G. at Captivate Me, I took a snapshot that I’d taken on January 30, and decided to render it monochrome. I first cropped the photo and then shadowed the photo and added Graduated Tint to the upper portion of the photo to remove the glare from the sun in the trees. I then used a Filtered Black and White too to accent the blues at that point, I went to the tint filter to find a tint not so starkly black and white … I don’t like the Sepia tool on Picasa 3, which is the app I used for this week’s work.

nice how it reminds me
of look out and asking the sea
the same 🙂

I will be content with spring and autumn if only winter lasted only 3 months rather than 4 to 5

minus 22 today with the winds feels like minus 35 and there are NO ski masks left…just checked with the mall across the street.

Darn … that is bad bad bad. Maybe you could try “online” … walking in that stuff without a ski mask is asking for trouble.

I found a better way to wrap my “eternal” wrap …nice and snug with my cagoule and pilot hat

Georgia, what a lovely place to sit and be 😃
Your monochrome makes this image seem very old. Even though you don’t like the app, Im glad you tried it.
Looking forward to the next ones and I do hope you include that beautiful path in some! 😃

I most probably will … I’m glad you enjoyed the photograph, it really is a lovely spot (a little chilly this time of year) I’m sure something interesting can come out of it.
