 Happy Halloween everyone!  Hope you have a fun day!  A bit of trivia.  Halloween is a contraction of All Hallows' Eve which is the evening before All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows' Day.  Halloween has it's roots in the ancient Celtic festival 0f Samhain which was a pagan religious celebration to welcome harvest at the end of summer.

Hope you enjoy my image, it's a photo manipulation of a couple of different images.

 Happy Monday and Happy Halloween!  Today's image is just something fun I created for the day.  Of course it had to reference one of my favorite subjects.  Hope you enjoy it.

 Happy Independence Day America!  It's also SteamySunday here on the Blog.  I decided to play with an image and see if I could create something that worked and I think I did.  I like it anyway.  😁  This is a locomotive from the Cumbres & Toltec at the lunch stop at Osier.  The sky is added and the photo adjusted to look more realistic.  This is another photo that just goes to show you can't really trust all the images you see to be real.

 Happy May Day!  Today's image is not real.  I took both photos that this is made from but not at the same time.  This is a good example of how you should not believe a lot of the images you see on the internet.  If they are just too good to believe, they probably are faked.  Rarely does everything come together just perfectly.  I have a new photo program and I was playing with it and found how, actually, ridiculously easy it is to produce a more dramatic image than what mostly comes out of the camera.  It dawned on me even more that a really stunning photo is most likely not "real".  Not that this one is stunning but it had more visual interest to me than eith of the images it was made from had on their own.

A rainbow image I took over a field a year or two ago merged with a windmill I shot recently while on a bike ride.
