I'm looking at this photo wondering if it's real. Before computers my graphics experience made it easy to pick apart art, and now another viewer is seeing a face in the mountain. That's convincing me. The power lines, visible as almost photographic to the left, become vague gray shapes on the right, and I see the golden glowing light at the back of the roof of the church and the similar highlight in the mountains almost above it as an artist technique, or glitch that stayed in.
Master Photographer Thies Bognar, just down the street, has a son who is an award winning photographer, living in the Rockies. I'll guess at the .ca or .com of his domain.

His "photos" have such a strong air of unreality about them, but remain photographic, much like this picture.
His domain also has a function with photos for viewing I've never seen before, not that I'm surfing the internet any more.
All this because I've got a couple new photos I'm happy with, bike-hiking with this little hand-held Canon I got last summer, my first camera. One trip I took 154 photos, and only kept five.
Who cares? Time to post some.
as always, John Watt
