As I sat sipping the last of my morning coffee - I noticed the sunshine was making a unique light pattern on one of my kitchen chairs. As the sun rises further and further to the north of us each day - it is interesting to see the play of light on ordinary objects within our cabin.

For a bit of fun and because it's Sliders Sunday, I added an effect and slightly saturated the colours to the columbine in Topaz Studio 2. Happy Sliders Sunday! HSS!

Thank you for your views and comments, they're greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

This one is from the same night as the previous post.

Since September last year the new river walk from new farm park to riverside is reopened.

Gives us a lot of new perspectives of this beautiful bridge.

This walk is one of the must do's when in Brisbane, more info at: www.mustdobrisbane.com/outdoors-walks-river/brisbane-rive...

Thanks for looking

A photo manipulation inspired by Thomannon temple, Angkor, Cambodia. Remembering a dreamy golden morning light.

Une création numérique inspirée du temple Thomannon, à Angkor. Avec le souvenir d'une atmosphère onirique et dorée procurée par cette lumière propre au matin.

Tomorrow Alaska moose hunting season comes to an end for this year, and the last of the hearty hunters will load up their boats, ATV's and RV's, and head home. I'm sure they will be dreaming of next years hunt with images floating around in their heads much like you see here.

Just using filter fun here to face my fears by visualizing glacier meltdown around my coastal city. Not to worry. Worse things could happen! :D
