For the first time in weeks I went out to take pictures just for the hell of it. I chose my favorite spot - Bay Area Park - without much hope of good stuff. It was a cloudy day in the winter. Not a lot of color around under those conditions. I started looking at the sky and noticed that there was quite a bit of structure to the clouds. So, I picked this tree and fired a few in hopes of some sort of artsy fartsy result. It turned out fairly interesting. I did not convert this to B&W. These are the true colors. Jeez, I hate winter, even if it is 70F outside. Bring on the colors!

And almost half as dark as Saint Clair Shores. Nice photo, though. I'd say you got what you went for.

It's just like Renton---how depressing!

I think your day's adventure outside was worthwhile and I applaud your efforts. I do.. I wonder what this would look like if you rotated it in a portrait format?? just a thought. I'm taking this (only mentally, as an anniversary present, John...smile. I'm sorry I never answered your cute remark about Harkos hearing chocolate..smile. Cheers and keep shooting..I like your what you see.. all the best, cristine
