ghostly figure at the rest stop

Actually a mistimed self-timer shot, that was almost cool. I wanted to be a tiny figure way way back in the trees. But after about ten tries during which I didn't appear in eight due to not working the self-timer properly, I had pity on those waiting in the car (and had had enough of putting on a show for people sitting in cars doing cell phone things...)
Happy 78: happy that Joe had a good birthday outing with me and Terry; and that his boys got up early to have a family breakfast; and that it was altogether a lovely day for him (50 yrs)
you should've taken a photo of the people sitting in cars doing cell phone things!! :-) maybe the timer didn't work properly but you got an awesome ghostly image!

That photo gives me chills! What a great accident. Do you think you could recreate it? One of my friends advised that I keep a notebook and mark down the settings for my favorite photos. But where's the fun in that?!?!?

I don't know if it's a jacket coloured bench or a bench coloured jacket... either way I like the link which ties the image together.

woah, scary Francoise, I too like the colour repeat of jacket and table. Glad you had a good day. Oh to be fifty again!

The fact that you (aka - the ghost) are walking away makes it all the more awesome!

Very cool ghostly capture. I agree with Vikki, a picture of the cell phone toting humans would be quite cool.

I call this a HA! Happy accident when what you have truns out as good as or better than what you planned! I think this is a great picture!

Perhaps the timer was your ally? This is so very very creative! I love the muted colors and the fog- just wonderful!
