Fascinating
Thanks.
That's pretty cool! A hint of Japanese art.
Thank you. A lot of my artwork is what I consider "Asian-inspired". Sometimes I add a stamp with a Chinese version of my name provided to me 44 years ago when I took a Chinese brush painting class for fun two years after finishing law school taught by an elderly painter from China.
Interesting. You took a course in Chinese Art, I took a course in Tie Jie. You've been to China, and I now live there. We are both lawyers. Birds of a feather?
Don't forget landsmen.
LOL, yes of course.
Just fooled around with some of my photos..

Cool beans. I really like the 2nd, 4th, and 6th images. The 2nd image with the line drawing of the dog is really nice. Are you using Photoshop or some other program?
I have used Adobe and a free program but can't remember its name. However, I no longer do any photo editing and hardly ever take photos any more. I post my photos on NT from my large computer photo library.
By the way, that WAS a real dog lying there.
The one I particularly like is the 5th one, the bottle or jar.
Antique stores are filled with artwork that frequently get stuffed into stacks that could sit there for months without anyone even bothering to flip through them, much less purchase them. We no longer have the wall space to keep purchasing them. We actually keep small stacks of portraits we bought behind the couches and in closets that we swap out periodically to keep our decor interesting and seasonal. I like to flip through the stacks in antique stores and occasionally will snap a quick photo of one that captures my interest, then use it to create a new piece of art. This is much easier now that I can just tell AI to remove the glare from the glass, or a price tag. Just a hobby, not something to try and profit from, so I feel like it’s an homage to an original that otherwise goes without being seen. I actually wish I would have bought this one.
An interpretation of the spectacular fall colors from last weekend’s trip to Hershey, PA. We took a detour along the Susquehanna River on the way home to see the fall leaves.
You have a fantastic menagerie.
The image of the trees is very striking. I may not know art but I really like that one.
Thanks, Nerm - here is the untouched original.
Wow, quite a transformation. Well done.
Weather
Lunch
A harvest moon
Very nice, indeed. You've nailed the composition in all three.
I'm having a lot of trouble with my computer. I replied to you LONG ago, and now see my reply disapeared. I repeat....
I rallly like the top photo, great "leading lines" example. Was the photo of the moon taken through a tree?
Thanks. The breakwalls make that kind of thing easy to do.
It was.
Those are terrific.

Very nice. The first two images really capture the color and festive nature of the celebration.
I was always fascinated by that tradition Your images are a great display of it.
Interesting ! but very "spooky" !!
A short walk-about around my house.
Beautiful surroundings. Do you hear voices?
Voices, laughs, moans & groans. Balls bouncing off the side of the house. Sometimes the golf course looks like it's hosting fleet maneuvers. The local high school uses the golf course for cross country track meets. And there are school golf competitions. The latest 'new' thing has been night golf with the carts lit up like Christmas trees. The first night game was a real "what the hell was that" moment. It looked like a UFO invasion.
Here's the Tee box for the 3rd hole. That's a neighbor's townhouse in the danger zone. The slicers hit mine.
Me and three friends were playing a course lined with houses. One of them, a lefty, hit a slice off the tee that hit the side of a house. A woman came running out wearing a bath robe with her hair in curlers and screaming at us. We replied, "what do you want from us lady, we stink".
You have some nice photo opportunities there.
A ghost at the grave.
Wooooo!!! You're kidding!
Nice. Otherworldly!
