On March 12TH 2009 I did my first blog post, so today is my 1st blogiversary! It started at my other blog Something Sighted. I have a special anniversary post at Something Sighted. Newtown Area Photo was started two months later.The photo above is the watery reflection of a couple walking across a railroad bridge with trees in the background. I rotated it 180 degrees for an enhanced visual effect. I think the reflection looks like an impressionist painting.

There you go, my friend. I have added another shot more concentrating on the reflection. I will upload the evening shot from 2008 later on today.
ReplyDeleteI think you've discovered the reason why we now have impressionism in the first place. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations again, James (my long comment is in Something Sighted), and may you have a blessed and wonderful weekend!
Happy blogiversary. The pic does have a impressionistic quality.
ReplyDeleteWhat a challenging image that is! Chapeau !
ReplyDeleteAnd of course "Happy Birthday" as well, reflecting the joy one has trying to find an image worth.
May the light of time reflect only happiness for you and your site.
Please have a wonderful weekend.
Happy blog-versary! Love your reflections!
ReplyDeletevery nice! catches my eye, very creative.
ReplyDeleteWhat a milestone! And what a picture to commemorate it. It's fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteHi James,
ReplyDeleteI made a mistake when putting my link in and it leads to a map instead of to my post. I reposted mine using the 'correct' link now. So I am in there twice. Sorry!!
Happy Blogoversary!
ReplyDelete...and what a fine image to post on your Blogoversary!
Monet would be proud of you!
Congratulations James! Love this painting/photo.
ReplyDeleteI wrote lots more on Something Sighted.
: )
Happy blogoversary, James. I'm coming up on three years.Yipes!
ReplyDeleteI have soft spot for bridges, and this reflection was a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI will come up with a Weekend reflection tomorrow Sunday, but have added my name to the list after your visit today.
ReplyDeleteThe impressionists are only soft reflections of real life. Although I like the expressionists better the beauty in your photo is great.
Like abstract. Great one!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary James!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for a year of blogging and for giving us your unique Weekend Reflections.
ReplyDeleteAbout the wonderful picture my only doubt is about the title, more abstract or post-impressionist perhaps. A great image anyway!
It's true it looks like a Monet !
ReplyDeleteStunning shot! Happy Bloiversary!
ReplyDeleteAn impressionist painting is exactly what came into my mind when I saw this picture. Happy Bloggy Anniversary James!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely photo, you have a good eye! Trouble with me is that I would want to Paint shop it to death
ReplyDeleteInspired by Monet for sure!
ReplyDeleteHappy First Anniversary James!
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY JAMES,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I also stopped by Something Sighted and loved the Philly and NYC photos you're posted recently. I enjoyed you sharing about your faith and how you came into blogging and photography, the importance of The Early Encouragers, those few that keep ya going. That's a beautiful story. I know I've said it before... your enthusiasm and love of life is a joy to share.
Splendid capture, James and it so befits your first year anniversary! Many thanks for a very enjoyable meme....a job well done!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on such an important anniversary. Amazing what a difference a year can make. I love your meme very much and posted one of my alltime faves for it this week.

Hi James,
ReplyDeleteYour reflection today is really delightful - not only the colors, but the textures, too.
Thanks for your comment on "The Palazzo Look" in Rome. We did a lot of walking there and I didn't see anything else like it. It reminds me of the fortresses in Florence, but they don't have the smaller armor-like stones. I loved it :)
I'll have a reflection for you tomorrow. I've pre-posted it, but there is no link yet.
What a reflection.
ReplyDeleteAlso love the prev post too, they look real surly.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary! Love this shot James! Beautiful image, and I love the impressionist feel of it. Thanks for hosting, I look forward to this every week. Kathy
ReplyDeleteOne year! Wow. Look how far you have come and how much you have grown in one year. Remarkable! : )
ReplyDeleteCongratulations James! Another amazing reflection, as always!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary, James and thank you for hosting this meme.
ReplyDeleteStunning Shot James! I'm loving the reflection meme a lot everywhere and anywhere I just ignore the thing behind the glass and try to see the thing reflecting ON the glass these days...

Nice reflection. I was trying to turn my screen around. I don't see Mr Linky. I hope this works.
