Description
Hello All!
Was driving behind my home today and was drawn to all the beautiful clouds in the sky .
I saw this cross white cross covered with flowers and knew someone had died there. It brought to mind of the VERY sad news I heard yesterday about Steve Erwin ( The famous Aussie crock hunter ) .. ( you can read about it on MSN he died doing what he loved best) but my heart goes out to his wife and two young children. My teen Annie cried as his animal show was her childhood favorite... never met him personally but his infectious enthusiam and zeal will be hard to ever forget.
Just thinking about the loss of Steve's life so heavy on my heart today and tonight- and saw this cross by the road today and clouds so pretty- so thought I would share this with you of where my home next to in Southern California.
Taken mid day in very HOT bright conditions. Post worked it and softened it a tad to help draw it out. DId it in pano or tried to ( don't think I have done many pano's on here ...)
Taken with my little nikon 7900 pocket cam.
Finally get that darn root canal done tomorrow ( dreading it ) so hopefully, my normal routine of things should be back to normal soon here....
*This pano probally won't look too good unless viewed at full size thank you!
Thank you for all your time and comments!
Love to you all!
((( BIG HUGS))))

Fantastic pano. Wonderful color managment too!
What a beautiful Southern California day! I really do love all of those clouds, and the golds in the hills. You did an excellent job of capturing it, and on your post work! 8-)
Brilliant shot by a brilliant lady...Love the post work...this is a stunner...!!!!!
High quality photo of a landcape. The landscape is great and alive, but i can see it contains some sad story. You are really great observer and great photographer!
Like the work you did on this; subtle although very effective. Doesn't get in the way of the image, as so often people manage to do!
Truly beautiful and steve rocks on.
Excellent pan. Very striking. I too was saddened by Steve's untimely death. Such a stupid way for him (in particular) to go!
How lucky you are to have this vieuw behind your home...Such impressive!
Well done. Love the painterly dab effects!!
