Description
In September of 2011, Bill and I took our first car trip from Washington to Kansas. I took this picture at the top of the hairpin just east of the Columbia River on Highway 2 (for Fae Mike and others who know the area), but was never quite happy with it. Last night I came across it again, and ran it through a couple of filters in Topaz. It was love at first sight! I do like Topaz for this sort of thing. :)
We have since been on that road many times together, and always talk about the first time we stopped to look back at the hills of the Columbia River valley.
Today is Bill's birthday, which means he doesn't have to do any chores and I encourage him to fiddle around doing whatever he pleases.
Have a terrific day, Honey! I hope you enjoy every minute of it! :)
Happy Birthday, Bill!

Superb concept !!
Nice bit of filter work my friend!!!
happy birthday, Bill from Fae Valley and me
wonderful photo and postwork - I could see this as a very large picture framed and hanging in some upscale gallery
Glorious, and as you know, right up my street!
Super use of the Topaz filters!!
The old view in a new dream state...hmmm, wonder where that thought came from:-) Thanks Hon. Love the way you've put Topaz to work here. Thanks for all the wonderful times...looking forward to countless more with you.
So what did this look like before the medication kicked in? A wild image and an outstanding use of the Topaz filters. But then, when something is made with love how can it not be fantastic. A great gift. Happy birthday, Bill.
An interesting & appealing transformation. Somewhat Van Gogh-like - not exactly the same style, but a similar kind of landscape distortion. Happy Birthday to Bill!
Beautiful !
Love this image.. SO warm in colors and so gentle in texture. Perfect for your Bill :) Topaz huh? hmm.....I get more and more in love...!
I've appreciated Topaz, but haven't joined the 'movement'---but boy did you make magic with this. (And I save disappointing photos for the same reason---they can be redeemed later on...or used for blends. Or Salsas. Or Curries...) This is glorious. It has a Southwest magic. The red browns on bottom and deep pinks in the middle are scrumptious. The sky is like you painted it with cloud-stuff. And the layers---from bottom to middle to top---are just right. Beautiful job with Topaz, and a perfect dedi for Bill. Happy Birthday Bill! I'm so happy for you and your life, and your blessed life with Tara! And great dedi, T; and man, you did a bangup job with ol' Topaz, on this.
Hehe - so you gave him the day off......
That was sweet! And this wonderful artwork is also sweet, Tara! I love this!
And a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Bill! I've really fallen on my arse on birthday images over the last couple years... I intend to fix that in 2018...
A beautiful birthday present for Bill Tara, I am sure he will enjoy having no chores for the day. I wish him a very happy day and lots more to come. :) This finish for your photograph gives it a very mystical and beautiful feel. Excellent work. :)
Great work. And a happy birthday to bill.
Nic dedication for Bill.
I like what you did Tara. Time sure flies. I remember when Bill first mentioned that he had met a lovely lady on rendo and that there may be more to it than just a casual chitchat on rendo. I usually don't pay attention to birthdays and I know it is late, but better late than never. Happy Birthday Bill!
I've been on that road a couple of times but wow, did you ever catch that huge beauty with this foto. And you Topazed it SO well------just a wowser of a foto!!! And a big Happy Birthday to Bill!!!
