Clouds over Atlanta
Two years ago I was looking out a window toward the skyline of Atlanta. Interesting windows in many structures. It was evening, 6:48 pm, to be exact. The scene seemed worthy of a photo. I used my iPhone.
The photo did not turn out well. It languished in my archive until just a few days ago when I came across it again. Maybe, I thought there is something there. Lots of windows in the nearby buildings, many more invisible in the structures that form the distant skyline.
So, I played with it. Like we all do, I wanted the image to look pretty much as I remembered it. Our eyes can accommodate the different levels of light and we form a memory that is usually quite at odds with the way a camera records it. Again and again, I came back to this photo, determined to “enhance” it so it is just “right”. Finally, I settled on the version here.
You may not be impressed, but it conjures up memories mixed with the ongoings of that day.

That photo is great enhanced or not Ludwig. It actually ticks so many boxes for the photo challenges lately. Hammads Weekend Sky, Lens Artists Cloudscapes and there was another I am sure – besides Monday Window 😂
Isn’t it great to have a few more doing posts. I think I will add a bit onto mine like I did last time 🙂

Your photo brought back all the cool memories you had of that day. I’d say you edited to perfection then. 😀 😀 I do like the edited version. 😀
