Contrast

Six Madeiran extremes...

The village of Santana is famous for its triangular houses. As you can see, even the toolsheds are in style.

I tried to clone out the power line. It went well enough in the right-hand half of the photo, but the left-hand half proved beyond me. So I ended up leaving the cable in. Alas.

extraordinary!! they are great.

i like powerlines in nature pictures. they are already a part of the landscape for me :)

the story about the "valley of the nuns" is very interesting. it seems incredible something can be concealed for such a long time.
your picture of it is wonderful. i love it!!

i like a lot the colours in this series. the 3rd one is so beautiful <3

i'd love going to madeira. *sighs* i'll have to put it in the wish box for some time (decades??)... *sighs* my wish box is too full T___T

[mistress_elaine]

Deal! I'll await your application in triplicate, along with an appropriate bribe.

Hmmm, let me see...

Thank you! I rather like number three myself. I just love those different shades of grey...

I could look at photos like these all day long...

[mistress_elaine]

I love how you always seem to find nice things to say about my photos, even about snapshots like these...

Thanks, Scott. One day I hope to see pretty pictures of Madeira in your journal!

Amazing, as always :)

[mistress_elaine]

Thank you! They're just snapshots, really, but I'm glad you like them.

I still love your icon. :-)

You've just prompted me to put Madeira on my list of places I want to someday visit. Thanks a lot. :)

[mistress_elaine]

Heh. You're welcome. :-)

The worst thing is, the best photos (the scenery ones) are still to come...
