Stonewall Jackson by maggiemae

Stonewall Jackson

Not Jackson but me really. This lovely stone fence was uncovered recently along this property when they cut down the long grass to expose it. It is still in such good condition.
I rode down here on my bike, brm brm...nearly frightened a horse out of its wits and nearly passed a slow tractor pulling a heavy piece of farm machinery!

Three good things:
1. The mute button on the remote
2. John away on an Indian Bike Reveal in Auckland so I had the day to myself, ate what I wanted and watched what I wanted.
3. Missing him only after one day but messages came in.
The HDR really brings out the details!

This is the bike!! Must say it looks a great racing model......striking colour......a good basket for the shopping & a straight road ahead! Looks like a Lakeland wall to me....home from home! Lovely HDR shot maggiemae!

Looks a well padded seat!

Great shot, love the processing

A photo that tells a story, very nice.
November 5th, 2014  
@happypat My own seat is rather padded too so its not too uncomfortable, Pat!

Terrific composition. Beautiful wall and bike. Nice to know you enjoy johns absence and miss him at the same time!

@grammyn You are very good at pin pointing important facts, Katy!
November 5th, 2014

@phil_howcroft Thank you Phil - you say such nice things - makes me smile!

@maggiemae it's ok maggie :) , it's just a bike picture, but you know pictures talk to us when we like them :)
November 6th, 2014  
Great POV! Nice processing too.
November 6th, 2014  
I am dying to learn this processing - may I ask what program this is ? So, so cool :)
November 6th, 2014  
@vega Its really brilliant Vega- so many options. You have to take 3 photos at the same time in different lighting with your camera then use this app: Photomax Essentials. There is a Photomax Pro but I think you have to pay for it.
November 6th, 2014  
@maggiemae thanks so much - I will have to give this a try :)
November 6th, 2014  
@maggiemae LOL! Thanks!
November 6th, 2014  
Clever use of HDR, great shot and nice stonework.
November 6th, 2014  
That's a beautiful wall, love the pov and the placing and bright colour of the bike.
November 6th, 2014  
Fabulous pov and love the textures and colors. Love your stories too! ;) It is good to have alone time...I have some tonight as well.
November 6th, 2014  
There goes Maggie- zoom zoom zoom!!!
November 6th, 2014  
@olivetreeann Its a fairly quiet zoom, zoom, Ann! All electric and no puffing noise coming from me!
November 6th, 2014  
Nice composition and POV. I like the pop of red too. Glad you're enjoying your new bike.

Great shot, Maggie. What a great stone wall to discover! We have stone walls everywhere around here. They were used long ago to mark property boundaries and a lot of people have kept them restored. There are some that you come across in the woods that are falling apart because nobody lives nearby to take care of them. This is a great shot of it and the ditch and the sky is ominous looking.
November 6th, 2014  
@maggiemae I guess my zoom should have been a zip, zip zip in the fact that you are really getting around on this great bike!
November 6th, 2014  
Maggiemae, love the view, nice eye
November 6th, 2014  
I like the HDR. Oamaru has lovely stonework - whether buildings or walls.
November 6th, 2014  
A beautiful wall and a great find. Love the perspective with the bike pointing the way.
November 6th, 2014  
Beaut shot of this wall - fav. I love your little red bike too - have you named it yet?
November 6th, 2014  
@snaphappi Hey, never thought of this - do you think its a he or a she - it does have battery?
November 6th, 2014  
@maggiemae It looks like a he to me ... battery eh? 'Charger' springs to mind, but I'm sure you can think of something much cleverer.
November 6th, 2014  
@snaphappi Hmmm. it does 'charge' ahead once I start to pedal!
November 6th, 2014  
What a great way to get around, I name my cars.....I'm throwing Rufus into the mix for your bike
November 6th, 2014  
@pixiemac Rufus has red overtones and give the impression of being obstreperous?
November 6th, 2014  
Great shot and what a way to get around. You are sure enjoying your bike. I am so glad. Sounds like a nice day to yourself too. FAV
November 6th, 2014  
@darsphotos If I can think of a name for this cool bike, I would answer your comment with thanks from it!
November 6th, 2014  
Lovely HDR Maggie, it brings out the detail in the Shot...fav
November 6th, 2014  
Love the perspective here. What an interesting bike!
November 6th, 2014  
Lovely composition in this shot. Love the bike and stone wall too.
November 6th, 2014  
Lovely shot
November 6th, 2014  
Love this comp!
November 6th, 2014  
Lovely composition!
November 6th, 2014  
Nice pov with the bike leading the way along the wall. Funny isn't it when they go away, we relish the thought of doing our own thing only to find that it's ok as long as they are back soon!
November 6th, 2014  
@jennywren Exactly right, Jen! We are the lucky ones, some don't come back for one reason or another!
November 6th, 2014  
Lovely capture .... love your processing and your bike:)
November 7th, 2014  
Lovely image and great leading line.
November 7th, 2014
