My Week

by Valfal
My week was certainly a busy, traveled-filled one! My photos from the top left circling clockwise:

1. A very colorful vintage VW Bus seen at the annual "NYC Volkswagen Traffic Jam" classic VW show at Governors Island near Manhatten, NY. The event took place last Sunday, August 25th. We have participated in this show for the past three years.

2. A horse painted to look like the State flag of Maryland, USA. Yesterday, I helped run a booth at the Maryland State Fair for an equestrian therapeutic riding program I volunteer for. I was there literally all day! (edited using selective color).

3. A blue heron seen in a cove at Havre de Grace, MD during the mid-week. (edited using B&W).

4. The iconic Brooklyn Bridge captured "on the fly" as we were driving home from the "NYC Volkswagen Traffic Jam" classic car show last Sunday. (edited using white balance manipulation).

Whew, now I'm tired! I need a day of rest!

Thanks so much, Chris! Even though this is not the way I had hoped to capture the Brooklyn Bridge, I am surprised by how well it turn out when I changed the white balance. :-)

Valfal replied to LutzP:

Thanks a lot, Lutz! I had high hopes of getting a wonderful shot of the bridge. I waited all year for that moment, but It's a bit hard to capture a straight shot of the Brooklyn Bridge when you are distracted by a malfunctioning GPS as you are about to cross under it, lol! :-D

At least I wasn't the one driving! ;-)

Nice collection. Great shot of the Brooklyn Bridge particularly since it was on the fly.

Great highlights of your week, I especially like the VW - we had a similar one last year on stage for the musical "Hair"!
