Cool! I like the third one the best. It looks like a watercolor, and I have an interest in trying to convert photos to look like art. Were these done in Photoshop?
Thanks for visiting my blog and for the nice comment!

  Thanks for stopping by. I like playing with photos, and I like that one as well. No – not Photoshop but PhotoScape.

I like the original best too, although I like the first three. Actually, I like the light globes on your background too!

  Thank you – that is a great compliment – much appreciated. I lived in Napier for a few months when I first arrived here. I liked the area a lot.

What an interesting road. I can see why you would take this photo. Love the way you play with your photos. Each one giving a different flavor to the image.

  Thanks – I like the way the different effects can completely alter the perception of each photo. It is fun as well – playing with them.

I like all of them! They each have their own character and evoke different emotions. I admit to bias though, like the sepia one best.

  You’re right – there is something to be found in each one.

These are your best photo edits yet! I think the third one looks so much an italian landscape of grape fields. The second one reminds me of old then and now pictures. Like the grounds of an old army outpost. And the fifth like England in the time of Feudalism. Its only missing the horse buggy and farmers.
I can’t pick a favorite. Each one is a world unto itself. I would want to explore them all. Well actualy, you may guess correctly that the 4rth one catches my eye.

Very interesting interpretation and changes to photos. I liked the yellow path best. It reminded me of the yellow brick road.

  That’s what the interpretation led me to as well.

Love the way you’ve used the editing suite, I like to dabble too and have had some interesting results. I think I like the sepia effect best – sort of like a trip back in time which is just how a visit to Africa can be. Thanks also for you nice comments on my blog!

I like the starting photo but I liked the sepia version of it the most. I thought it enhanced the “mood” of the scene.

  Isn’t it wonderful how everyone has a personal favourite? I love the differences in our world.

  Thank you – it is great to hear that. After all that is the entrance to the rest of the blog, so it is important that it really shows what both the blog and I am about. Great to get an opinion on it at last.

My sea paths and Cameroon’s roads seem equally transient. How long can wood hold out against vehicles? I do miss our primitive roads on the island tho’, we used to stop and chat while trying to pass. Now it’s all asphalt and rolled up windows.

  Is it not true that ALL paths are transient? And yes – the old roads lent themselves to conversation much more than the smooth, slick freeways of today. rather like life itself sadly.

  i just recently started putting my old negatives on to the computer, and fixing them up. The programme has a few other things and I enjoy playing with it to see what happens. Some things work and some things don’t but I am learning all the time so I enjoy that aspect of it.
