They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot SPOT
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
Then they charged the people
A dollar and a half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer
Put away that DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
But LEAVE me the birds and the bees
Please!
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til its gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Come and took away my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
I said
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Til it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
I'm pretty sure I ran this one through BeFunky although a couple of them have this effect. It's called "Pop Art" on BeFunky and it automatically picks the colors for you. The shot was quite unimpressive in the original, but it was just a parking lot! Had I not been in such a rush, I would have composed it better.
Brilliant... I've been going around singing this song over the last few days since we don't call them 'parking lots' here, and the words immediately bring to mind the song! Don't remember all the words though so you've done a double favour! :)
Thank you Tanja, Huda, Phil, Karen, Nicole, Dione, Bev and Henri! I so appreciate the comments, favs and compliments. But I must confess, the effect does all the color choosing and composition. I just press a button! To be perfectly honest, the original shot was so-so. It had potential, but I was too impatient to work for something better, so when it came time to upload, it was in need of some spice. My rule of thumb is "Boring picture? Only picture? Time to process in BeFunky!!" I think iPiccy also has a Pop Art effect too. Play around with them sometime, they're both free.
@automaticslim Oh Andy- you're making my head swell! Really- it was a bad picture!! But it's always fun to redeem them with processing. @daisy Thanks Kathryn! It had to be Joni Mitchell. Any time someone even says the words parking lot her song automatically plays in my head!
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen!
