photo hunt: s a d


themes · home ·


This is a recent picture of a beautiful and colorful reflection. I looked through my files in search of sad shots and I didn't find any, so I decided to use this one after a b/w treatment to represent a sad feeling... hope I was successful in doing that.

    I made it finally! PHEW! (and I actually was kinda satisfied with it :-)

    It's a chilly, sad feeling that comes from the photo. Very good shot!

    Thanks x millions for the birthday grettings, It's heartwarming a day like this when it's reaining cats and dogs... as so often on my birthday. Maybe it's symbolizing the flooding of Champagne.... *giggles*
