Wagons Roll

This was taken at the foot of a property in the country where our book club was holding a meeting. I have processed and it looks a bit like snow which brings on strong feelings of the 1812 overture!

Three good things:
1. I was told there was a dead cow on the road this morning but when I went past there was no sign.
2. Book club was great with an American guest expressing amazement at our procedures at just relating the books we had read over the month instead of studying one.
3. I do like to see the excellence on 365 with the photography of Aaron @grizzlysghost

I love the processing. It absolutely looks like snow.
Our book club does pick a book and then we talk about what we thought it meant.

[Rick Schies]

I agree, it works well Maggiemae, very nice job

[Anne Mary]

Great "old" feel to this

[Yvonne]

It really does look like snow. Beautiful shot, Maggiemae. I would love to sit in on one of your Book Club meetings.

And I couldn't agree more about Aaron @grizzlyghost

[Sharon Lee]

Nice contrast

[Tony]

Love what you've done with this. I rarely 'process' to any extent. I've no idea what this looked like originally but the result is perfect for the subject and time of year. A Fav is a bit inadequate.

[Maggiemae]

@tonydebont thank you Tony - I just use the available picmonkey features and in this case, took the colour out of the shot. There were too many browns in the leaves.

[Maggiemae]

@yonnie thanks Yvonne - yes, we have great discussions which involve so much of the countries of the world, history and writing styles not to mention a fabulous afternoon tea spread!

[Jo]

Looks very old worldy, stepped back in time. I am about to join a bookclub which I am really looking forward to.

[katy]

the subject lends itself to the processing very well,Maggiemae. It gives the appearance of a daguerreotype!

[Laraine Kensicki]

beautifully done!

[Harry J Benson]

excellent processing

[Dixie Goode]

This seems perfect to me. Today as always Crescent City started their July 4th parade with a shot from the cannon from Battery Point Lighthouse. Your picture has the same feel

[richard saffold]

since it is the fourth of july here, makes me think of valley forge.

[Mickey Anderson]

Indeed !! very cool processing!!

[Paula Stuart]

Very cool processing. I thought it was snow until I read your caption.

[Linda]

Good processing, it really gives it a vintage feel.

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Cool shot and processing- it looks like something out of our Civil War period.

[Pam Knowler]

Love the processing! They loom like abandoned gun carriages! Lovely old feel to the shot.

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful capture.

[summerfield]

whoa! i thought it was snow and i suddenly shivered, notwithstanding it's 27 degrees here. we in the northern hemisphere don't want to mention the 's' word if we can help it at all. great processing, maggiemae. and what's the significance of 1812 over there? here in canada i'm just learning about the war of 1812 and it is quite interesting.

[Maggiemae]

@summerfield It was just the look of gun carriages in the snow that brought that to mind - you know, Dr Zivago!

[Penny Milner]

Lovy vintage tines! Just saw a good clip of Oamaru on seven sharp. Looks like a cool place- must visit!!!

[Maggiemae]

@pennymilner Glad you saw that though there is a lot more to Oamaru than Steampunk!

[Mr. Spock]

Superb processing, I really thought there was snow!

[Penny Milner]

@maggiemae Of that I have no doubt at all!

[Amanda Thepanda]

great processing

[Paula]

Great vintage feel to this picture!

[KWind]

Nice scene, nicely processed!

[❀ Lynn]

Beautiful processing...love the feeling it gives to the photo.

[Chris]

Interesting task - would have been nice to see the original , for comparisons.

[Lisa Pouncy]

Love the olde worlde feel to this xx

[Mike Pittman]

Very nice. I like the "aged" look

[bardejov]

Awesome processing. Looks like an old print.

[Chris]

Wonderful processing!

[Juliette Packham]

great processing - looks a timeless scene - nicely done

[Anatoly]

Interesting processing. It is really sends the viewers back to the 19th century..

[Rohini Gupta]

Love your processing - it looks great.

[Luretta]

I love this! Makes me nostalgic. I'm realizing more and more that NZ is a place I have to visit. I'm working with an Aussie this summer and his wife is from there. What friendly, open people. (I'm from Texas and you all strike me as the 'Texans' from down under, and I mean that in the very best way!)
