While organizing travel photos yesterday I found this photo from our Rhine River cruise last June. We toured the beautiful Swiss town of Stein am Rhein, it is famous for it's Medieval houses with painted facades. I looked up and saw this advertising mural covered in ivy. It struck me as pretty incredible, still.
@mittens At first I hoped they would clear it, then the the longer I looked at it the more I thought she is lovely as she is. @maggiemae@henrir@beryl@alijchapman@joemuli My mantra when I'm out taking photographs is to remember to look up. I've always had a real love affair with clouds. I find looking up gives me many opportunities for finding some good, even great shots!
The ivy creates such a wonderful effect, almost bringing this into the surreal realm...with her eye peeking through. I agree with you on keeping the ivy.
