Hello Dutchess, are you here tonight? I have been playing in my lightroom under the influence and I think I got it all wrong
. How’s your day?
Working over ten hours a day left me empty. So I’m going to fill the void with a good book
Sleep well, my friend.
I promise, no popcorn tonight hehehe. Hugs.
I am loving it Marion…. there is a tower in it :O, which is one of my favourite ingredients in photos of places
. Well done!
The hotel is situated in a former water tower! You would totally love it!
What a tranquil, peaceful and romantic scene, Dutchess. It’s no wonder you used it as a header. Thanks for sharing your talent.
And thank you for feeling the special atmosphere.
Excellent work from the distance Marion , Thanks for sharing my friend
I loved the challenge, Jake.
I love that shot! It has a lot going on in it, and you can almost believe that you are looking out of that window rather than at a picture. Fits the theme well, too!
You can look out over the entire city from this glass tower. It is magical
Glorious Marion. My husband suggested I take a photo of the moon. Yours is the nearest I’ve come so far, and much prettier. I’m going looking for a window to take photos from.
And I just admired your choices for this challenge. Thanks so much for taking me back to Portugal, Johanna.
this is one of my favourites for the challenge Marion…I love it
You are too kind, Jo
An amazing night view.
It was really beautiful up there, Colline.
I like all the lights in the background.
Without them, the view would have been much less.
zeer mooie foto!
Hartelijk dank
Brilliant photo Marion! I have also always enjoyed shooting through something!
Hehehe, this could easily be explained in a different way: I do hope you only use your camera to do that
Haha! You are right Marion! Lesson number one: if exhausted, wait to comment!
Noooo, don’t wait. It is quite entertaining
Get some rest, Cher
Beautiful photo.
Thank you, Connie.
