A discoloured wall of a local railway station, once used for advertising posters, shows the signs of many years of scraping and adhesives.

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY - Post Processing to the Max!
The black items look to me like silhouettes
of a human head and of a dog that is lying down.
This image is truly post-processed to the max.
It is a digital INVERSION* of the original photo.
The subject of the original photo was two pieces of white debris
of some kind-.They were lying on a wet asphalt sidewalk in the rain.
* My image editing software, GraphicConverter,
lets the user apply any one of several different INVERSIONS to a given image.
An inversion is the digital equivalent of the negative produced in a piece of
classic light sensitive photo film, revealed by subsequent chemical processing.
Location: A small portion of a rain-covered asphalt sidewalk,
Riehen BS Switzerland.

Abstract Reality Series -
I was mesmerized watching the rain sliding down my window during a in a downpour, I had a real life screen on which the rain traveled. As cars passed, all kinds of interesting and changing scenarios were created.
My experience during a powerful rainstorm resulted in a number of abstract images including this composite design.

Well, this vine's looping, radical change in direction prabably was not the vine's choice. Instead, it seems likely that back when the vine was young and flexible, some human did the redirecting of its growth. He/she wanted the vine to grow more upward rather than sideways.

HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY!!
As described down below, my offering is indeed
"Post-Processed to the Max."
Besides the hooded monk and his supplicants,
there is a little girl with a pony tail, on the left, clutching his robe!
Who knows what I would see if psychologists gave me the Rohrschach Blot Test.
And oh my, what would they make of my answers?
I fear the diagnosis would be "delusional." 😊

Okay.
Here is what YOU are seeing:
An UPSIDE DOWN presentation of the shadows
of some vine leaves, on a stucco-covered wall.
I also hyped-up the strong summer sunlight
with my dehaze, contrast and sharpening sliders.
Tell me if you agree with what I see
or if you see something else.😄

this bit of tile was extracted from a gigantic work titled "The Urban Portraits" created by 9th grade students of Gateway Charter High School in the fall of 2006.
Detail from the glass brick wall of the Aardman Animations HQ in Gas Ferry Road, Bristol Harbourside. The colours are the details inside the building and the various reflections from outside and opposite. I just thought it made an intriquing abstract.
My wonderful Mother died on 30th July 2015 after a brave but intense and very difficult five month fight with cancer. I've been wondering what to do with the pile of her photograph albums sitting next to my desk. And then the Flickr group 'Utata' set out a project called "Freelensing" where you take a photo through a detached lens (with no F stops) and it gave this curious first attempt result (that I quite like!),
