Frozen leaf

I was totally surprised this weekend, I woke up in the morning and the temperature was -8C, way too cold for my liking, but I did find some great photo opportunities; like these frozen leaves.

Cold night

We had a cold night, and the water in our water barrel froze  and created beautiful  art. These photos have not been edited, this is what the camera caught…

Värikollaasi #169 – Color Photo-collage

2-2014-03-01 1-2014-03-04

The idea in this challenge is to use 3-4 colors from the sample, I’ve added the sample colors into the photo-collage. I aim to use the original colors in the photos, that way it is more challenging to find the colors. This is what I came up with this week.

I took some pictures of the flowing water that keeps the ice hole open and the edges of the hole look lovely – artistic.
