The faucets of the heavens have been unleashed here in southern New England. Although the sun came out today, the Connecticut River was past flood stage and still rising. I like this picture, taken with the Hipstamatic iPhone app, because the surreal aspect of the streetlamp out there in the river reminds me of the lamppost in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."
My grandpa used to tell us stories of swimming across the CT River when he was a boy, just so they could get to a good swimming spot on the other side. Go figure...
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
Boy and they accused me of stretching themes, your blaming this on TAPS, I don't think so, unless the sinks are all plugged up, release the plugs.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like the processing on this one!

ReplyDeleteThe monotones here give a soothing feeling to a chaotic scene. Unusual.
