Nice color combo!!

It was even better in person. I was just lucky no one had parked in that area. (It's a local branch library and theater building.)

Goats are like cats. They always seem to seek out the high ground.

BnW nominated for IOTM. I usually bookmark and decide on the 30th of the month, but no. This is simply fantastic.

A monument?

Not to anything specific, as far as I know, and no explanatory plaque. It's a sculpture, named Guardian II (I have no idea where Guardian I is.)

Oh my.
The first edit, just. But they’re both dreamily beautiful.

Thanks. I found a new trick using Photomator to edit egret shots. Photomator has seperate clarity and texture sliders for highlights, mids, and shadows. Since the egrets are so bright white, I was able to raise clarity and texture in the highlights for them and lower it in mids and shadows for everything else, which I think is what gives it that dreamy quality you mentioned. It's a shame Photomator has gotten so expensive -- I'm glad I got grandparented in (at least for now).

Great tip with the clarity/texture trick Ted - (I’m grandparented too)

If you have an editing app that offers HSL (hue/saturation/lightness) sliders, this is what happens when you play with the hue:

I think of difference blends any time I see an image with weird colors
