I decided to pull from my vast archives for today's fence (and I do mean vast)! *big grin*
I had a choice: the snowy fence or the sunny fence. Decided to go with the sunny fence.
I live right on the edge of civilization. Chicago is the biggest city in Illinois, and Aurora is the second largest city. That is hard to believe! It seems like the rest of Illinois is rural farmlands. Heading west from my house down the interstate is complete emptiness ... a sea of cornfields.
It was bone chillingly cold when I took this image, but somehow it feels warm.
"Happy Fence Friday!"
Light will always be the first and last estate in landscape photography. It is very essential in composition when the sky is used as background for which it is the only source of light. Positioning, getting the details, patiently waiting for that moment.

“Learning became her.
She loved the smell of the book from the shelves, the type on the pages, the sense that the world was an infinite but knowable place.
Every fact she learned seemed to open another question, and for every question there was another book.”

This is from our Texas Road Trip in October. All I did was a bit of curves, levels and hue / saturation sliding to brighten up and saturate the image! We didn't see the bats return to the cave at Carlsbad Caverns; so we ran up to at least catch this beautiful sunrise! I thought we were done with snow for a bit an needed some warm sunshine!!
Happy Sliders Sunday!
“Standing on the snow-covered plain, as if in a pasture amid the hills, I cut my way first through a foot of snow, and then a foot of ice, and open a window under my feet, where, kneeling to drink, I look down into the quiet parlour of the fishes, pervaded by a softened light as through a window of ground glass, with its bright sanded floor the same as in summer; there a perennial waveless serenity reigns as in the amber twilight sky, corresponding to the cool and even temperament of the inhabitants.
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
— Walden (1854) by Henry David Thoreau

I really loved the slanted light coming in my window this day and decided to experiment. The crookedness of my window bothers me but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how this turned out, I even like how grainy it is. Starting off the day with some self portraits is a good way to start. :)
Used the glow stick and wrapped EI white wire around the base of the glass. Added a background texture.

Been wanting to shoot this sign forever. Made a special trip to get it. Great South O steak house - been there for years, though I've never been inside. Probably should before it goes away. Looks very old-school inside.

This one i really like, the compositional arrangement from the rocks to the trees have been designed as a central focal point. When I saw this particular tree all alone against the waves and rocks that seem to converge to it, i knew what I wanted. My only beef is the light. Big cumulus clouds blocked the sun thus a less dramatic light.

I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures this evening. I really liked the way the light was shining in my back porch. Silly me though, I didn't even take off my iPod before rushing to take the picture!

Padre Island is a most unusual beach. At least it was for me. I was there in October, and I was the ONLY one on the beach. I guess everyone went home, back to work or back to school. Obviously, this was good for me!
The long stretch of the Padre Island National Seashore is also unusual in that folks can drive their vehicles right down onto the beach. I'm not sure that I like that idea. I think I'd prefer that it stayed wild & uninhabited (at least by motorized vehicles anyway). And I couldn't do it myself because you really need a 4WD. Being so far from civilization, I didn't think it would be a good idea to bury my rental car in sand!!
Since I won't really get a beach vacation this summer, I am reliving the beach memories. I think everyone may have noticed a large amount of sea-themed images in my Photostream lately. Now you know why! ---> ◔◡◔
Sincerely,
A Beach Bum Wannabee

I'm so sorry I haven't been by everyone's Photostreams much lately ... pining for the sea, taking a Staycation Break (which just can't compare to the beach) ... working on my portfolio & revamping my resume. I will be catching up tonight & tomorrow my wonderful Flickr Peeps!.
