SkyWatch Friday: Good Witch and more


The first shot was a rainy accident but it made me think of the Good Witch Glenda in the Wizard of Oz.

Remember how she appeared in a bubble gliding down slowly.

The shot below is moody to me with the landscape being dark and the cloudy sky being lighter.

I've already posted black and white versions of the next two shots.

I thought Cone Manor worked well for my black and white post but I also like them in color.

    The manor is, indeed, magnificent and the path (to what looks like infinity) intrigues, Carver. I also love the empty picnic table looking so lonely beneath the leafless trees.

    Great captures, Carver. Cone Manor is just as beautiful in color as it is in b&w. (I agree with you about preferring to live in the Carriage House.)
