Title: The trail home
Post by: MattBurt on August 31, 2015, 04:26:09 pm

This is from our local trail system taken on an after work bike ride. That's town in the distance.
The sky while interesting didn't have much color which made me want to try a monochrome conversion to accentuate texture and contrast over color.

Ah, looks blissful. The b/w looks good here, and I agree, looks a wonderful place to be spending some time.

Great vista, interesting sky/clouds and a superb trail, I'm envious too. The B&W treatment is well done.

Thanks! It is a magical place.

I give up a lot of things to live here at 7700 Ft, hours from any malls or sports stadiums but I have found those things aren't important to me and a greater connection to nature is.
