    It does have an old world look to it. Great reflections. Nicely done.

    Most of what I did was boost contrast on the far right side brick wall and concrete using the new brush in LR! Worked great, with ease!

    Thanks, Don.

    Actually, historically this was boat building country and the river had locks along here, now moved downstream.

    Glad you like it! :D

    Time to go exploring, Gaby. Here is a screen shot of Google Map of the spot. I shot from the right hand bridge toward the left hand walking one.

    Have fun!

    Wow, if the river is flowing east west here, you could probably get a rockin' sunrise or sunset reflection and those buildings all in one. Very nice.

    Very cool, Don. I grew up in MA, and this reminds me of all the little river mill towns I used to ride my motorcycle through. Presented very well. thumb.gif

    Thank you for the kind words, Joel. I'm generally known for more abstract images, Though I like to do Landscapes, at times, especially when traveling.

    Yeah, that would be something to watch for, if I lived closer. Not likely to be back there soon, unfortunately.

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

    I'm a sucker for scenes like this, Don. You've done an excellent job on capturing the " flavor " of the place.thumb.gif

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.
