I have gone out on several foggy mornings
trying to get the steeples of Aurora, through the mist.
Last September, I got this set... and on download
I thought I had struck out again, and left it...
I found them again, yesterday...
And did some serious cropping, and editing..
The last may be a keeper..

The last 2 you have to use the download to see the different finishes
I'm not sure this is all the steeples,
there may be one or 2 below the tree tops...

it started similar to this one...

1st crop and edit similar to this one

Then it became this one...
Then it became this one......

Finally, the oil paint filter gave it this finish

Good practice thinking of the possibilities!

I'm having some kind of difficulty here with color being very blue-grey in my photos. The downloads are showing closer to actual. Anyone know a reason why?

I like the wagon wheel

Definite difference dane. I think I would leave foreground in and just crop most of sky.

P19 interesting set Bonnie especially #1

Thanks for your comment. This old telephone pole has a hundred, if not more, pairs of boots hung on it. Supposedly it is a tradition that once you complete a specific hike, you get to toss your boots up the pole and try to get them to catch. No matter the reasoning behind the boots, the pole sure stands out in the desert and makes for an interesting study in color against the bright sky and the brown landscape.
