A Cold Weather Hike at Green Lane Reservoir

My wife and I went for a short hike late in the morning on January 14 at Green Lane Reservoir in Montgomery County, PA just off of Knight Road. It was another cold morning in which one needed to bundle up in several layers of clothing. Nevertheless it was a beautiful hike as demonstrated by the pictures below:

 Beautiful red berries

Hiking at Green Lane Reservoir

On Thursday, December 1, I spent some time hiking at Green Lane Reservoir near Green Lane and Red Hill, Montgomery County, PA. It was a windy, colder day but wonderful to be outdoors. Below are a few sights from my time there.

Transformations of an Autumn Leaf

From time to time as some of my readers know I like to play with a real life photo and transform it into abstract art. This is one of those posts. The first photo below is the original photo with all that follows being transformations.

This original photo was taken at the Green Lane Reservoir Park
in Montgomery County, PA this past Sunday.

Here I converted it into a seamless tile.

I took the seamless tile and applied a balls and bubbles effect.

Here I applied a keleidoscopic filter and overlaid it with a weave effect.

Here's another keleidoscopic effect.

Still another keleidoscope with a mosaic tile pattern.

And lastly an unrelated photo that ....

strikes me as a picture for a storywriting assignment.
