Peaceful Pathways
Uploaded: February 03, 2010
This Is Part of The
PEACEFUL WALK THROUGH THE FOREST
That I Told You About In Yesterdays Image:
"Logs On The Lake"
It's an amazingly quiet walk except for the occasional thunders of an avalanche across
the lake on that steep Rocky.

Hi Avril! You should have seen the Hansel and Gretel version I did earlier! It was spooky!BTW- Johnny is there. He is just in "hair and make up" at the moment! HA!
Thanks for commenting! I'm off to bed soon.

Looks like a fairy tale. Not sure I would find "an occasional avalanche" so peaceful, though. #8352403Linda D. Lester February 03, 2010

Peaceful. High or low road? #8353521John Connolly February 03, 2010
What an awesome effect you have created here Laura, and your framing is the icing on the cake!Monnie Ryan February 03, 2010
Beautiful effects and colors on this one, Laura -- terrific job! #8353832Laura E. Swan February 03, 2010
Last to first:Hi John! Gee! Thanks! To those of you who mentioned the framing: It's actually part of the photo and not an imported frame. I used my smudge tool and outlined it!!! So the natural colors are what make the frame! Cool hey? I think I might start doing this from now on with other images, too!

Well Steve, in this case the path to our left is the peaceful and beautiful walk along the Lake and the upper path goes into the deep woods. (Mountain lions and bears lurk there!) So...Humm...maybe today we can all walk by the lake? (See tonights installment for part of that walk!)
*
Also thank you Kerry, Renata, Stef, Ron, Pat and Linda. I am glad you folks liked the mood and feel of this one. The colors are saturated pretty good, too, but I tired it both ways and liked this better! :)

Michelle, if you were there for an avalanche you'd love it. It sounds like thunder and is across the Lake so you never are in harms way. The snow coming down looks like water falls. It's really quite pretty!!!

Thank you Chua! :D

I promise that I will Mr. Tree. :)

Thanks Doug!

Brett, seems to me I have said the same of your work, too! Thank you for this same encouragement!

Wow!! Would love to hear a avalanche!! Awesome effects here girl! :) #8354088Laura E. Swan February 03, 2010
In the next few days I will show you where one was that day we were there. In fact when I snapped the shot I think it was still "waterfalling"...This is NOT a SKI Mountain so don't worry! I put this Utube on here so you can hear the rumbles.
