 Today's image is the last tree that I processed with an Black and white and then infrared treatment.  This was another tree that was at Hershey Gardens in PA that I thought the effect worked rather well with.  I liked how it showed off the twisty trunks a bit better.

 Today's image is another that I did of a tree I had seen in Hershey Park Botanical Garden in Pennsylvania.  I was inspired by a poster I had seen in an Extension Agent's office.  This has an infrared treatment done to it, along with black and white.  I really liked how it turned out, hope you enjoy it as well.  😁

 I was at a meeting with a Kansas Extension Agent last week and saw this beautiful photograph in her office and was inspired.  This is my version of that photo which is actually fairly close to how the tree was captured in the photo.  This is a tree from Hershey Gardens in Pennsylvania with a few treatments on it including an infrared one.

While we were in Michigan we went into Detroit one evening for dinner.  I had always seen on TV how decayed and supposedly dying Detroit was.  That is not what I experienced at all.  It probably has some decay in certain areas, all cities do, but downtown Detroit is beautiful with old architecture that is quite interesting and art deco and then in contrast some new style that looks rather futuristic.  I liked very much how this shot of the GMC tower with the MGM Grand as a sliver on the left turned out so that's why I am sharing it today.  The processing I did gave it even more of a futuristic appearance I thought.  I wish I had more time to spend in Detroit, it seemed quite the interesting city.

One of the advantages of getting up early in the morning is seeing cool things.  I saw Mars, Jupiter and Venus all lined up in the sky.  One of the many disadvantages is not having time to photograph what I see.  Ah well.  Today's image goes back to Minnesota and the friend's home that has the train I shared on Sunday.  These are Aspen trees in his yard and you can sort of see the track running along in front of them if you look closely.  I played with the image a bit doing an infrared treatment to it and a bit of toning as well.  I liked the results so here you go.  :-)
