My <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_camera#Bridge_cameras" rel="nofollow">bridge camera</a> doesn't have the facility to add filters, regrettably. But I do have a few tips about taking photos through glass and I'll share them in a post in the near future.

I don't have the kind of camera I can use one on, but I am always taking pics of shop windows and always frustrated by the reflections. Grrr! The view from GB's is absolutely stunning, I'm imagining it in real life - all quiet. <br />As for the altarpiece, I will share the link with T. as I am sure he too will be interested.

Ate steamed clams and crab legs with drawn butter (in pencil, if you have to ask), drank wine. Bought an artisan-made coffee cup to replace the one I had that broke. Traded tattoo compliments with other inked personages. Left a few of my new business cards around. Tasted beer at a new micro-brewery. And all with Bear, who has the whole day off with me!!! Way cool. I absolutely adore your photos, especially the one of water and the bridge house at night.

The colors of the fishnets are quiet but elegant. The bridge house is enchanting and mysterious. I have not walked a street around time between morning and night. But I imagine I will be able to see many sceneries with very different atmosphere from daytime. I want to try it one day. But I have to ask my husband to come with me.<br />keikosnowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684277511053973833.post-90675826319400531722012-09-03T07:43:42.066+01:002012-09-03T07:43:42.066+01:00Have a good time, Chris.
