When new owners painted their buildings "Lime", "Tangerine" and "Raspberry", they had street signs made with that clever name! Our house looks down, across them, to the water, so when the sun broke through this afternoon, we grabbed the tripod and hurried across the way for some photos. The other day, Ken called and while I stood at the front door, he filled the screen with a photo of me in front of the house. Today, I realized that the compressed images of the buildings rising up the hill from the waterfront made a far better (and more joyful) composition! Someone said of my waterfront photo ( http://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2014-10-02 )that it would make a good jigsaw puzzle. This is the one I'd love to set out for my friends to put together!
I'm not sure if it was me who suggested it but that was my first thought when I saw this one too. What fantastic colors and an adorable town. The fact that your house is right in the center of it makes it that much better! There are a lot of companies that will make your photos into puzzles easily these days. You could even have extras made to give as gifts to family and house guests! I just love this shot... :)
WOW! you have this to look at everyday? must make for a beautiful view when it's snowy and all. i'm googling your town. :-) and i do agree, this would make a wonderful puzzle! not that i will do it because i have no patience for it, but i will when i'm confined in a home in about 30 more years! :-)
@summerfield See what you have to look forward to if you come to the Maritimes?! I have to go across to the golf course to look back at this, but when the moment for taking pictures looked right, it only took us about 4 minutes to drive over there... I LOVE small-town living! (As for that snowy view, I've seen lovely photos, but we'll be back in California come winter!)
@annelis@irisn@pamknowler@kwind Yes, Lunenburg is known for all its colours! Like your comments, I thought the finished photo looked like a painting, but I only compressed the three bracketed images and used the "Photograph" finish. Certainly zooming in flattens the images, but if you could enlarge this picture, it's clear that those buildings really are just like that! We just love them!
It would make a great puzzle! This is such a wonderful photo of color and fun. Who needs fall color change when you can have these beautiful colorful buildings!
When you think of all those colors one might wonder how dreadful, but when you see it, it all works very well, fitting together perfectly, quite the charming look
@pamknowler@hbdaly@danette@irisn@summerfield@wannabe@annelis@ethelperry@digitalrn Thank you all SO MUCH! FYI, Shutterfly is offering a $10 discount on top of their sale prices this weekend, so I'm ordering this as a "Thank you gift" for friends we're visiting in Halifax the end of the month...and one for ourselves... If you're interested in their promo, the code is "10dollars" and there are all sorts of gift items available at Shutterfly.com. (Ordering a Christmas ornament for our new grand daughter, too!) Thanks for the encouragement!
Love this pic. looks like art we call the primitives. Artist that paint the world they live in ( often from memories) and did n`t have any education. They paint what they see. Lovely. Fav.
@allie912 Wow, Allison! The ultimate compliment! I love Wysocki's art! Did you see my comment that I'm having some puzzles made of this design to give to friends here...
I was very much a mono person until my wife introduced me to color. Now every time I see vibrant colors I think of her :). Hope all is well Louise! I have a friend asking how to take beautiful photos and I mentioned to her my project from several years ago and how the best thing I got out of it was connecting with great people. Made me come here and poke around the other day and seeing a few familiar names made me smile. Take care and all the best to the family.
