Pathway to the Sky

Visited a playground when it was empty of kids, then had some play with the photo when I got home. Definitely a case of ETSOOI.
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the egg! I ended up with a series of egg and feather shots so they will appear again.

[Diana]

Very cool looking.

[Myrna O'Hara]

So clever. Great idea!!

[Trinda Love]

[Walks @ 7]

Like a dream set in a movie. Fav!

[Harry J Benson]

good processing, nice upward curved line

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible picture.

[Sue Hecker]

Ha, when I saw it, it looked like a stairway to heaven made out of frozen fruity cocktails. Super cool, love the "smoke".

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Interesting edit- you'd never know it was a playground fixture!

[Cathrine Mitchell]

So very cool, at first glance I thought it was keys from a trumpet signifying notes to heaven. Then I read your description oh I was so wrong but l wasn't the only one @featherstone26 This is so very thought provoking and so so worthy of a FAV.

[Annie D]

they look like lotus seed pods
love the surreal dreamlike effect

[Ron]

I thought you were letting us in on your happy hour offerings! Nothing like a couple - or a couple of dozen - strawberry margaritas!

[Tony]

Beautiful and creative concoction. Don't know how you do it. Constantly in awe. Fav

[Leila]

Absolutely love this! Fav!

[Sylvia Binch]

I thought they were pins at first. Great effect, quite abstract.

[gloria jones]

I like it...great composition, leading line :).

A stunning image and processing, rather mystical.

That got me thinking! LOL!! Trumpet was my first thought and I have enjoyed reading what others thought. Lovely processing creating a beautiful image!! Fav!

[Denise Wood]

Love it :) fav

[Lou Ann]

Marvelous faffing! Trumpet keys and Cosmos, nothing better!

[Debs Stott]

Like Pam, I thought trumpet too - glad you said what it was... but then that's the beauty of ETSOOI!

[Mave]

Atmospheric. Clever.

[Casablanca]

Fun playtime in every way! Wonder if those all turn into fountains when you go near them and surprise all the passing kids!

[Catherine P]

Fantastic!

[Clare Gadsby]

pretty cool! thought they were pin heads to start with

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very cool and creative shot.

[Kahsia]

Very creative processing. I seem to remember that you are going to Africa. If so, when do you leave? I am looking forward to a vicarious trip.

[Taffy]

@moonmtn Thanks Kahsia! I'm hoping we'll be able to go in December now. We were supposed to go this past February but Jim ended up with a few surgeries that were heart related so we had to postpone (fortunately, now we know we don't have to cancel, but it was a worrisome winter!). So, still practicing with my lens, and just starting to re-plan it which is exciting.

[Joyce]

Clever and creative Taffy Fav

[Jane Pittenger]

Lol! What a wild drunken road to Heaven with trumpets and fountains at the ready. Well done

[Karly]

Wow - incredible shot - so interesting!!

[carol white]

Very creative, a super image. Fav!! 😀

[HappySnap]

Very much like your interpretation of what you actually saw. Clever and creative.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shoy

[Suzanne]

I'm another one who first saw cocktail glasses! I now imagine a different note been played as its tiptoed up!

[Rob Z]

I love it - but it was a bit disappointing to realize they were not all "full to the brim" cocktails! Gorgeous blend of colours - and I really like the winding trail off into the distance......

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Fantastic shot

[Kathie]

Okay, I admit it, I thought they were upside down shower heads. I much prefer the cocktail suggestions. We could drink our way thru those.

[*lynn]

so creative and unique!

[Helen Jane]

the kids would really love this playground.

[Islandgirl]

Nice processing!

[Peter Dulis]

Love it ...fav

[Rosie Kerr]

Oh, that's pretty cool! Skill meets opportunity. :) Like a stairway to heaven! So glad to learn that you are re-planning your missed trip and that Jim is doing better.

[Marnie]

Looks like a good collection of golf tees to me. Excellent processing, great fun.

[Sheralee S]

I love how you did this, it really does look like it's leading to the heavens.

[Catherine]

This is so clever! Love it! Fav

[Chris Johnson]

Whoa this is so awesome!!!

[Marloes]

Great lol shot and editing!

[Tom]

Great processing and skill to create this wonderful photoart image

[Darlene]

This is so cool. Love your processing. So this is the way life goes sometimes. Not sure what is in store for us on our journey but we are doing what we can. My husband, Dan was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in the advanced stages though seems like still surgical, not sure till his next appt at USCF, San Francisco with his surgeon. It has been a rollercoaster of tests and emotions, tears and fears too. Latest MRI results just came out today. Life tosses us all kinds of stuff to deal with. Just wanted to pop in and let you know. He has not felt great in way too long so I knew something was up just never expected this. He has to lose 35 pounds and is down 18 which is huge for him. Praying a lot. Hope you are doing well, Taffy. Make sure your husband gets his PSA checked as so many younger men, in their 40's are being diagnosed. Frightening to say the least.

like a childhood dreamscape
