Christmas Approaches...

A few days ago I took this shot of some Christmas deco down a walkway and I posted it up on Soaring Through the World in Pictures.  Since I loved it so much I played around with its blending modes and came up with different looks. I thought I'd post up these for fun...

It's been very very cold for me... and I really don't want to go out, even though the snow has just fallen and everything is so pretty. However, I have some Christmas shopping to finish up. So that will force me out of the house. Hopefully, I can get some good photos. Anyway, here's one from my balcony.



I love the snow on the trees...but I just don't know how to get the white trees to stand out. I wish I could really capture the beauty I see with my camera...for memory's sake...but oh well.

  2. I love the different blending methods you used! The last one thats really dark and blue is really cool looking. And wow! What an awesome picture of the snow! It looks like a postcard or something... I love how that one house sticks out so much. Amazing job!

    I love how I can see Italy through your view, if you do get out be sure to get some more snow pictures! :)
