Poppy Field


This is a mixture of two shots, one from North Carolina - which actually it was in a rest area from I-77, just north of Charlotte, and the other one from Romania.

Got a joke too!

A guy comes to an auto shop with a badly damaged car, asking the mechanic to fix it. The mechanic takes a look at that pile of junk, and while scratching his head, asks the guy:
- What happened?
- Well, my wife hit a tree, answers the guy.
- How many times?

  4. Me too Eddie. Like your photo manip this morning. Really well done. I think I know where you've joined them...but that's part of the fun of one of these shots...trying to figure them out. Did you see Tennesseecowgirl's posting from yesterday? I think she has a picture of the vehicle the wife was driving. LOL.

  106. Nice, seamless composition, Eddie. Last year Scotland seemed to be awash with poppies. I believe the local authorities were planting them instead of daffodils on roadside / verges.

    I used to use skies, rendered in TERRAGEN, as backdrops for my VISTAPRO terrains. That was before I discovered the delights of VUE, where I can set up a shot so much more easily.

    Warm regards, as the daffodils break the ground at last ( almost a month late, this year ), in a cold, damp Glasgow, Scotland, John.
