Scavenger Hunt

I'm trying out some new techniques to resize my images for the web, using the unsharp mask and now I'm hosting my images on Flikr.  All totally an experiment for me, so bear with me.  But, I'm totally proud I was able to do the Scavenger Hunt again!  This week was a fun combination of wandering around the city and exploring a park within the city - on top of the city!  Wow, what a view.  I'm participating in Now to Wow, and was able to grab a ton of yellow images (I'll share tomorrow!) and Walking in the World, so this ended up being my walk and artist date (also more about that later).

Vanishing Point

I stopped in the middle of crossing the train tracks and yelled to my husband to keep an eye out for me!  I love taking vanishing point images in the city, the streets, transportation, the buildings, all lend to good perspectives.

Square Crop

Took this at Panera.  I ended up blacking out the light outside of the textured squares.  I love the squares within the square within the square crop!

Under

While taking this picture I kept thinking of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds:

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,

Towering over your head.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,

And she's gone.

I have no clue what the correlation is. But this building is a landmark in our 'hood. I love it.  

A bit too purple though, eh.

Welcome to the Jungle

Calm

A beautiful day Saturday, two musicians were playing at the top of the hill, the reverberation of the violin bouncing across the houses as we spied like children.
