California dreaming by jannaellen

California dreaming

86 / 365
This picture was taken in Pisa three years ago. The title seems to suggest otherwise but I love that song and thought it fit the mood. I loved the gloomy sky against the happy deck chairs and wanted to share this picture with you for the weekly theme. I love pink and changed the colours of this picture accordingly. As today has been rainy again, I was actually dreaming of California, so today I'm thankful for daydreams ;). If you want to see the true colours (slightly enhanced) of this picture, check out the tilt-shift version: http://365project.org/jannaellen/around-the-worl/2011-06-24.

I was completely taken by surprise by the positive response to yesterday's picture. I wasn't even going to use it but thought it represented my day best. So, thank you very, very much - you made the unpleasant experience of getting soaked quite worth it ;).

@jannaellen I should've known ... :-)

@jannaellen wow! the colours in this are awesome... & as I can see in your comment above to @janmaki you changed them (to better I say!)...

that sky is brilliant with just a touch of pink in it. the two colours are very complimentary.

Oh & just some thing I've noticed & been meaning to mention... when tagging someone, you need to have a clear space either side of their tag in order for it to register in the other person's notifications, I've previously missed tags from you before & I see you've done it with Jani's above too. - just thought you might like to know, as I'd love to know that you've replied :-D

This is awesome Janna, you are running hot this week!

I wonder if you could find this in England... maybe in Brighton? :)
posted June 23rd, 2011  
@wadey : I had no idea! Thanx for pointing this out. I love changing colours around, especially when it's not really noticeable ;). Want to hear a secret? The chairs in my library aren't really red and green either... They're actually just red. Sometimes reality is just a bit too boring not to mess around with it ;)).

@kaisisland : Maybe. I booked a day trip to Brighton and Beachy Head now. So excited! I also booked trips to Bath & Stonehenge, Stratford & the Codswolds and to a play in Shakespeare's Globe. Thanx for kicking my butt to do so ;)!
