Sometimes cosmetic procedures are not enough.

“To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often” - Winston Churchill

It's not a recent shot,but it was taken on 23rd St between 5th and Avenue of the America's (6th Avenue) in Manhattan (a Home Depot store is a couple of stores down to the right for those curious to know).What's interesting about these buildings is that they were once brownstone houses back in 1857 in an era when brownstones were first seen on city streets.Cast-iron façades and additional floors were added to them in later years.The building with the Starbucks below was once a brownstone belonging George Frédéric Jones and is where his daughter,Pulitzer prize-winning novelist Edith Wharton (The Age of Innocence,Ethan Fromme) spent her childhood years.Miss Wharton didn't like brownstones and later said that it was the "most hideous" stone ever quarried.Her father,Mr Jones (or her two great-aunts according to another source) was said to have coined the phrase "Keeping up with the Jones's"The white blotches you see on the façades are from the sun.

I took this shot of the amazing Grand Canyon in 2012 on a very old Lumix TZ7 point and shoot. Over the weekend I've given it a bit of a makeover in Photoshop. I was quite stunned at how much detail the orginal JPG shot actually captured.

Old commercial building.

Looks like someone is taking time to make repairs to this nice looking (and unusual) black painted barn. Hopefully this one will be standing for many more years to come! The barn quilt is a great touch as well.

PETER:

Can I ask you something Oleg?

OLEG:

What would you like to ask my dear Peter?

PETER:

Would you give Sleeping Beauty a kiss so she wakes up?

OLEG:

Peter....I read you too many fairy tales.

This is an egg and it's not Sleeping Beauty.

PETER:

Please Oleg...

OLEG:

Ok then...

(Oleg bends over the egg...gives it a kiss......looks up....)

You see Peter...the egg does not wake up and so it is not Sleeping Beauty.

What are you standing there giggling at me. What's so funny.

PETER: (giggles more and more)

It's....it's...(keeps giggling)...your face!!!!!

You got the face of the egg!!!!!!

OLEG:

I knew it!!! That's why that kiss felt so sticky

The egg was painted and the paint was still wet.

This is not funny Peter

We both went under the pixel knife, both sporting LOGO heads :D

A rainy day with Photoshop instead of camera. For my album "Creativity, Close-up and Macro". Take a look !

Wheeling 775 emerges into perfect morning light with freshly repainted ex-D&RGW SD40T-2 #5412. The unit was shopped in back September after smoking a traction motor, and received a facelift while it waited for 6 new wheelsets to arrive from Ukraine. In addition touching up the nose, the shops added black numberboards (an homage to its original setup) and repainted the flying letters on the long hood. After years of being the ugly twin, the 5412 is now the class of the Rio Grande legacy roster.

This was it's first run leading
