Images of the arty kind

I feel this Youtube video shows Kiwi art of the highest calibre. Kindly sent to me by our friend Anthony Darby

I know that Cliff B likes to play around with some of the visual effects available in image processing software programs. I've played around with some effects in my avatar-madness days   But I occasionally check out what certain photos will look like when applying a filter or effect, it's fun. The last one in this series is a "brush stroke" effect, for an instant impressionist painting

The original photo is part of my Allium garden in August 2007.

Lesley,
Really enjoyed the inflight safety video - it's only fair that to show that the Brits can get people's attention as well. We saw this one last year going on holiday, I even looked forward to the return flight.  

[Lesley Cox]

That's really nice Peter and I'm sure would get a lot more attention than the usual version. I'm usually annoyed at the hostess for interrupting my reading.

Lovely, lovely image Robin.

[Lesley Cox]

It certainly is.

Cliff that small plant has arrived and I'll send it off tomorrow. I'll be away from NZ for a week from Wednesday so best get it away ASAP. On the dryish side I think?

Many thanks Lesley, I will await it's arrival with love in my heart, oxygen in my revival equipment and a hot coffee and light snack of nutrients  ... have the most wonderful trip and give our kindest regards to those Aussie people please!  Take care.

[Ragged Robin]

Glad you both liked the image and have a safe and happy trip Lesley, looking forward to seeing some photos

Thanks for your comments Luit and Angie, it did have a real feeling of tranquillity at the end of a busy day

Some lovely images in this thread.

I found it fascinating to look down on the forest from cablecars this summer.  Here is one impression.

That's a fir distance up, Tony.   I pine for scenes like that in autumn and winter.


An image now by that celebrated photographer; Anton Aconitum ... a deliberately larger than usual image Maggi to allow for detail recognition.

Fermi sent me some "arty" images of flowers but I deleted them after looking. Silly of me as they'd fit here very well. Fermi, if you're looking, can you post them here?
