30 Days in June- Day 19

It's time for another shot of my neighborhood and today's shot features our community's clubhouse. It has both an indoor and outdoor pool, shuffle board, a playground, basketball court, a pool table, a fireplace, a picnic area and indoor and outdoor games. We pay dues each year that helps keep these amenities available for all the members. This is where I swim everyday- the indoor pool is at the far end of this building. It was actually an overcast morning when I took this shot, so I tried out the new textures at Picmonkey and gave the shot some blue sky and clouds.
What a wonderful place to have in your neighborhood!

I am very grateful to have this- it's so helpful for my joints! And it's really been spruced up lately so it's looking really good right now!

What a lovely shot. The house, the trees, the pool, the sky... it all blends perfectly. Great job!

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole- your daughters would love it!
@prttblues Thanks Bev- If the guy who does the website wasn't so scuzzy, I'd offer it to the community. But I refuse to go near the man!

looks like a painting. i could never do this, every time i try, i end up with an entry to ETSOOI. :-) beautiful shot and processing, ann. i like it!

@summerfield Thanks Vikki- well the computer does all the work here- it's the HDR advanced mode from iPiccy. You click on the button and wait for it to "fix" the picture. Not like the real HDR where you actually have to blend the shots yourself. On this one I just overlaid the sky texture because without it, it looked like the sky was white. It worked pretty well, but if you look closely, you'll see where the pool edge ends and the sky makes it look like water splashed on the deck area.

Looks a wonderful place - and great shot too.

@filsie65 Thanks Phil! It's pretty nice. Sometimes the people can drive you crazy, but we have great neighbors so that balances it out!
June 23rd, 2012  
Now that looks like fun, great shot

@melorac Thanks Carole! The outdoor pool is a little chilly for me- but the indoor pool is just right!

Looks like a lot of fun can be had there! Cool processing!

@salza Thanks Sally- there were lots of children there today when I went to pick up my mail at the mailboxes. It's fun to hear their laughter.
