Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: stump of a tree

This weekend we spent most of our time clearing the woods behind our house, this stump of a tree once again shows natures own art,  if you look closely.

Oddly beautiful detail don’t you think?

A Photo a Week Challenge: Sharpness

I experimented this with  few photos, here you can see the outcome. Moderately used this is a great tool to use,  First photo is the original.

in the last photo as it was sharpened too much it came granular.

In these the difference is significant and worth the trouble  – the detail are much more clear. Also I did add a little contrast too 🙂

Welcome to Wednesday around the world!!

I visited the local church…

When was the construction work actually started on the grey-granite church which now gives its profile to Kirkkonummi centre? Already in the 13th century or as late as in the 15th century? Experts still have varying opinions about the point of time. However, one thing is for certain: after the construction was started there has been additions to the church, and it has reached a magnificent cruciform shape and space for 550 people.
