Merlin's Tomorrow

Uploaded: October 19, 2007

Description

As Merlin lived backwards remembering our tomorrows, our past his future. Perchance this enchanted fate awaits beyond yesterday. (This was taken at the Jemez Springs monument park. I did heavy post processing to create an atmosphere, but the enchanted castle was very real.) I'm thinking of adding some kind of magaical dancing lights on the tiled entry path. What do you think?

I like this Aggie. It struck me as a Central America village, such as the Aztecs/Incas/Toltecs or one of those groups. It certainly has that quality and mystery to it and that sky and colors adds the perfect touch. #4956869

Thank you Ann and Karen. What a fun project the was. I think all of us in the club could feel the enchantment of this place even as we took the pictures. #4958075

I love the feel and quality of this photo, Aggie! The sky is superb and adds so much to the picture.
Post an unpdated version if you decide to add in the fairy lights. #4959224

This is a great place, and you have done a great job and showing the magic that it exudes. Fine work.

Thank you Angela and Allen. I usually don't enter places they've erected a toll booth in front of, because that usually causes the place to lose it's special energy. But I'm glad I entered this "realm." lol I'm glad the magic came through. #4967568

Hey Aggie
Very cool shot, nice effects, maybe darken it, convert to B/W and add a ghost or two for Halloween.

Thankx Shahn. I guess even when Halloween isn't on your mind because there's no children around it still seeps into you and comes out in ways like this. #4973777
