You and Head are dueling this week. This time it's "stand-off" photos. :)
Spectacular shot, Olivia.
Morning Nancy.
Hmmmm ... yeah, was just over there on my blogwalk. We certainly seem to be syncing psychically ... lol
I've got two more posts ready (had the last few in draft form ready to go). It'll be interesting (amazing?) to see if Head posts something similar ... :)
If I didn't know better, I'd accuse you of playing with Photoshop. That's just… amazing.
Which am I? My eyes are in the country, my ears in the city. My head has a very weird shape. :-P
Morning Olivia.
That's an excellent picture and the caption just sets to whole thing. Wonderful!
There is nothing about that picture that isn't perfect. Angles, composition, lighting, mirroring, opposition, blending, perspective. Brava.
Nifty juxtaposition. I like that photo a lot (even though there are no mountains or critter butts in it).
As for the choice -- no contest for me. I'd scurry as far away from all those big, ugly buildings as fast as my little legs would carry me.
Welcome home
I love the contrast between the very woodsy, wild left side and the very urban, big city on the right side. It reminds me of the work of an artist in Ohio who purposely used to put together (Photoshop) famous locations into one photo and make them look like they were all side by side.
This is truly beautiful.
Thanks FAR. As I was walking along the seawall I noticed the cloud reflection so I turned back to look and saw the park and the city coming together. The sky cleared and it was one of those moments when it all comes together nicely. In the right place at the right time (w/ a camera in hand), as they say.
Hi there FM.
Thanks. So are you a city or a country mouse?
Thanks Jen ... One of the biggest challenges I found about photograhing there, was not having an understanding of the (geography) layout and how the time of day and play of light worked. And only being there a short time meant that there were no do-overs ... lol. It would have been nice to scout out a place and go back a few times during different parts of the day etc. Ah well. It was fun.
LOL Andi ... :)
Yep, me too. Hurry scurry.
Hi P4.
We went up into the mountains on Sunday evening, and you could see the lights from the city and the darkness of Stanley Park beside it. It's a large area, so it's really noticeable.
Hey Olivia, at the moment, I'm a country mouse that takes excursions into the city.
AMAZING!
Olivia, I was in Stanley Park a few times. One other view that I liked was the background of the city. The mountain peaks from where you view the city lights. A great mental puzzle to go with a great shot.
There was a torchlight parade on skis coming down the slopes above the city once that was incredible.
As for me wide open space is better than steel canyons.
You've captured that reflection beautifully, Olivia. It's one of the nicest I've seen.
Definitely country mouse. But what a great shot, Olivia, showing how the two can co-exist in some places. Lots of pics to catch up on today - thanks as always for my morning shot of beauty!
