The Sands of Time

Interesting how you can come back and look at pictures that you took some time ago, and whether it be the acquisition of new processing skills or a different point of view, how the image can be interpreted quite differently.

This clock face is in fact a massive sculpture (nigh on 4ft high) that was laid in the sands of Cottesloe Beach in Perth (Australia) and I blogged about some of the original images HERE.

Thankfully both my photography and my photoshop skills have improved a little since then and I rather like the revisited version a little better.

And.... I have my bags packed (yet again) and will be heading off to Germany this afternoon to check on Mum for a few days.  It will be interesting to see what colour Europe has to offer through the camera's eye during the fall season and can I tell you how much I am looking forward to an excellent cup of coffee and a pint of Oktoberfest Beer? .....

I'll catch you soon ....across the Pond and the Channel!

LOVE clock workings - I've a little collection of brass bits and bobs - although these look a little large to fit in the box!

LOTS of atmosphere in the reworked image!

Have a great time in Germany - have a pint or two for me!

YOU must travel more than the President! It's groovy that you get to see mum again. I hope it's not too cold!

Safe travels and I hope you find that all is well when you get there.
A wondrous piece of artwork here ~

Travel safely. I really like the somber (and somewhat 1984ish) tone of this picture.

This is wonderful, love how you have done it up in monochromatic tones, like the remnants of a lost civilization found on the beach.
Enjoy your visit with your Mum looking forward to see the country through your lens!

I think a brown tone would have suited better
