Them Thar Hills



We have been having some extreme weather lately. The ranges behind our small town are covered in snow, usually you can’t see them as they are covered in cloud.  But this weekend the sunrise was doing its work and this was the view as I walked to the diary to get some milk.



Then I fiddled with the photo in levels etc.


Then I went into full play mode and created this.  I know I used a background from Shadowhouse Creations and lots of filters and created a mirror effect to give the impression of reflections in water.
 


Then I went back to the original and superimposed a photo of some Mexican sunflowers that were growing in my garden in the summer.  With all this cold I need a little sunshine!
 


Then I used another photo of the Tararuas  further up the valley, the snow had come down to the foothills.  I admit that I enhanced the sunlit areas in photoshop.



For my final picture today I used another background from Shadowhouse Creations and created this effect as if I was seeing the view from frosted windows


Have a great week everyone.
