I don't usually go in for lots of manipulation of my photographs -- it takes too much time and kind of messes with my purist attitudes about photographic composition -- but this image is, I think, a worthy exception. It was taken from cliff side at the gorge in Ronda, Spain, when I was traveling in Andalucia with my daughter over the Christmas holidays. Created this with recently downloaded the free open source photo management software 'Gimp' (http://www.gimp.org/) and I think it's interesting. What do you think?
well hello ellen...since Bill and I have been to "Help me Ronda"...we know exactly where you took that photo! I think it is pretty cool !

Thanks for the comment, Susan! Great to know you're still out there holding up your end of staying in touch while I'm in here being a hermit! I miss you!

More than interesting - it is fabulous. It could illustrate a fantasy, but it also has an eerie edge to it. Thanks for the inspiration! And thank you for blogging. It is so good to hear you again!
