New Virtual Wilderness Getaway

Another one using the reflection technique that Aerianne and I were talking about.

 

If you turn this sideways you get a weird alien type thing.Turning paintings on their side is a technique some abstract artists use to make images.

 

I did something like this way back when I was in school and then did it with my grandkids a few weeks ago.

I folded a piece of paper in half and used the fold as a line that I wrote my name on, in cursive writing, lol.

The longer the name, the better. Unfold it, stand it on one of the sides and color it. Mine looks like an alien with big red eyes.

Edit - I forgot to mention that you need to use thick paper, like construction paper, so you can trace in the mirror image.

Edit - I found a pic on line.

 

I like getaways on my roof. I can sit comfortable for hours and think.

I was on my roof watching the storm race towards me. It was one of those weird storms where there is no rain dropping just wind and lightning. I had my camera with taking 100+ pictures. Timing was perfect!!

Once my wife heard the strike of the lightning crash..I heard another sound. One even more dangerous than the lightning...

"Pete! Get the f*ck down from there right now"!!!!

It would be heard the same here, lol

 

This is on Panola Mountain which is about 5 miles from me.

 

This is from Arabia Mountain which is about 8 miles from me.

 

This is Stone Mountain, as seen from Panola Mountain.






Stone Mountain is about 15 miles from me.

 

Wow, gorgeous

 

Hey Aer,

I've been to Stone Mountain. Like, back when I was 18. Viewed the carving and from the other side, walked to the top. My stepdad was born and raised in Fayetteville south of Atlanta. His mom's house was in the middle of nowhere, up a tinny creek past a long gone mill. Red mud and pines. Nothing but.

 

Fayetteville is a pretty vital part of Greater Metro-Atlanta now, but you're right about the red mud and pines everywhere there isn't pavement, lol

 

Hi Girlfriend,

Yeah, I was there back in maybe the summer of 68. Then Fayetteville was a very tinny town. I've heard that its huge now. was just there for a week visit. But the fatback was a dream.
Go YOU!
