"What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain." - Victor Hugo
-----
Another busy day but the time passed quickly so I can't really complain.
The weather was cool and grey today so I wasn't as motivated to venture out for photos as I am when the sun is shining so I was pleasantly surprised when this caught my eye right next to my back porch. The texture and simplicity just worked for me, especially in monochrome.
Anyway, hope everyone has had a good day.

It was windy and everything kept swinging. At some stage, I almost had to beg the plants to stay still.

The image today was taken late this Afternoon in the Spon Street area of Coventry. The view is one of what is thought to be the oldest pair of Semi Detached houses in England. The buildings date back to the 15th Century and were restored between 1969 - 1970. The restoration of these houses marked the beginning of the ambitious Spon Street conservation and relocation project.
The photo was taken using the app ExposerGL on my iPhone 6.
First I used the app Handy Photo to delete a couple of Ballards and an Advertisement sign from the front of the building. After this I used Snapseed to further edit the picture. I cropped and Straightened the image and applied the Tonal Contrast preset. I then boosted the Contrast, Saturation, Warmth and Shadows. I also decreased the Highlights. After this I used the app Mextures to apply the formula called Bleu by Cora Edwards. Next I used the app DistressedFX to add the Stirred Overlay and the Bliss Texture. Finally I used PhotoToaster to add the Clarify preset, the Drama FX and a Large dark vignette. I then applied the Old Paper preset and the Leather frame.
