1. This image of a stairway started off as a cell phone picture. I cropped off the sides a little bit and converted it to black and white.
3. My younger daughter just returned from a trip to Tunisia. Be sure to visit her blog and see her incredible pictures. They will strike a chord with Star Wars fans.

4. This is another cell phone shot. Parts of the reflection are wavy and other lines are pretty straight. I wonder if the glass has a plastic coating or something. I took this picture, as well as the stairway in #1, when I was in Baltimore. I considered converting it to black and white but I like the blue sky.
5. Saturday is St. Patrick's Day, and I'm prepared because I have a picture of a green display that I saw in Kroger. The beads looks suspiciously like Mardi Gras beads, don't they?
Enjoy your weekend!
Funny you mention the Mardi Gras beads ... a friend of mine said they collected as many green beads as the could while in New Orleans this year, and they will be handing them out at the parade tomorrow ... I guess better to re-use than throw out!
ReplyDeleteWonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love how you experiment with your photos. I am always fiddling with them. SOOC is a false god to me.
ReplyDelete...Happy Saint Patrick Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat design in the stairway looks just right in b&w...and I'm also glad you kept the blue sky in the reflections pic.
ReplyDeleteI love winding staircases, too. My guess is that windows never remain perfectly flat, and eventually that will create distortions of reflections. Yes, those are definitely Mardi Gras beads..lol..
ReplyDeleteThe goose was quite a patient photo subject for you!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! I enjoyed these choices. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.
ReplyDeleteFantastic shots Linda, very creative!
ReplyDeleteCool reflection! I love the staircase photo and the interesting North African buildings.
ReplyDeleteA nice mix Linda.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
