"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."
-Maya Angelou
It was windy, wet and cold, but me and my doggie went out for a walk on the beach. I'm so happy we did!
Looks like there was a second one forming on the left, but unfortunately it did not.

The tree was traditionally decorated with edibles such as apples, nuts, or other foods. In the 18th century, it began to be illuminated by candles which were ultimately replaced by Christmas lights after the advent of electrification. Today, there is a wide variety of traditional ornaments, such as garlands, baubles, tinsel, and candy canes. An angel or star might be placed at the top of the tree to represent the archangel Gabriel or the Star of Bethlehem from the Nativity.Edible items such as Gingerbread, Chocolate and other sweets are also popular, and are tied to or hung from the tree's branches with ribbons.
Our tree as you can see is covered with everything & anything, a real eclectic mix
I can take no credit for the final outcome other than getting the tree down from the loft & dressing the tree in lights in a very artist manner

Paula jumped into the deep powder snow and seemed to dive through it. She definitly had a lot of fun and could not get enough of it. Watching her was great fun.
For those of you my friends, who want to see Paula as a puppy, please refer to the stream of my friend Ulli: www.flickr.com/photos/bergeru/26690306521/in/dateposted/

Sonnenberg Gardens, also known as Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion State Historic Park, Canandaigua, New York, USA, at the North end of Canandaigua Lake, in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. The house and gardens are open to the public every day, May through October.
The property was once the summer home of Frederick Ferris Thompson, a prominent banker in New York City, and his wife Mary Clark Thompson, whose father, Myron Holley Clark, was Governor of New York State in 1855. The Clark family was from Canandaigua, NY. Mr. & Mrs. Thompson's main home was in NYC in a large townhouse on Madison Avenue. The Thompsons purchased the Sonnenberg property in 1863, keeping the name, Sonnenberg (which means "sunny hill" in German). In 1887, they replaced the original farmhouse with a forty-room Queen Anne style mansion. The property also had a 100-acre farm to the east. Sonnenberg's gardens were designed and built between 1902–1919, and originally consisted of nine gardens in a variety of styles.

Color Efex's Black and white Solarizarion + light toning
The original image was taken in the afternoon. The buildings in the background were blurry (on purpose, I was aware that the train was moving), and the background was dark red with greenish areas. Rails were brown and fuzzy.
My first attempt was to turn it to black and white. Rails were nicer but building were quite white and blurry.
I accidentally applied Solarization to the color image and the result was quite nice. It looks very dramatic, like Film Noir. Solarization provides a much nicer mysterious background and floods rails and seat with light.
