Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I hope this is 'abstracty' enough for Mick to allow me posting to AbsOrbed .......please, Mick :-))

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed I did this Orb a while ago and simply filed it away under "Maybe it worked/Maybe it didn't" :-) I came across the file t'other day and when I looked again I couldn't believe that "July, You're A Woman" is the title of a song :-) This song features on one of my all-time favourite albums from 1974 and that is "The Phoenix Concerts" by John Stewart. I still have my vinyl copy and, of course, the cd as well :-) Arnie Moore - bass Jonathan Douglas - organ, congas, piano Loren Newkirk - piano, organ Jim Gordon - drums Michael Stewart - rhythm guitar Dan Dugmore - pedal steel guitar, electric guitar Mike Settle - vocals Denny Brooks - vocals Buffy Ford - vocals ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ July, You're A Woman ~ John Stewart

Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed One from the archives where I used the 'Art History Brush' in Photoshop. I was fairly pleased with the result here. But, since this time my success with the 'Art History Brush' has gone downhill.....rapidly :-) Here comes a little bit of a tenuous link for 'Sight and Sound'. I guess you would need a cradle to turn this boat over and this, of course, links to "Cradle To A Boat" by The Kennedys (Maura & Pete) :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Cradle to a Boat ~ The Kennedys

Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed This is one of the windows in The Sheldonian Theatre, Oxford. I was let loose with GIMP Photo Software.....as often happens :-) I think I applied a cube/frame effect or similar and I think the result looks, very vaguely, like a tunnel of love. So, a wayward link to "Tunnel of Love" by Doris Day sounds good to moi :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Tunnel of Love ~ Doris Day

Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed This was the Oxford University Biochemistry Building before I got let loose on it :-) Not exactly sure 'wot' I did but that's 'par for the course' :-) Anyway, could have involved the Perspective filter in GIMP :-) I feel sure "True Colours" by both Cyndi Lauper and Phil Collins has been used in our Group. I have, therefore, gone for the version by Celtic Woman. ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ True Colours ~ Celtic Woman

Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed I sometimes think photo software ought to be taken away from me :-) This shot of part of Boscombe Pier was intended to be an Orb! But, I think I flipped horizontally when I should have flipped vertically or vice versa :-) After that, things started to go downhill rapidly :-) Initially, there was only one light so perhaps I hit 'Symmetrize'. Also, there has been some 'Dream Smoothing' applied :-) As there are two lights and some sea I figure a 'Sight and Sound' link to "Same Sea" by Lights is permissible :-) ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Same Sea ~ Lights Carol has suggested I could add a second track and that is "My Favourite Mistake" by Sheryl Crow....... So I have :-))))) Thank you, Carol ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ My Favourite Mistake ~ Sheryl Crow

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Added to ~ Sight and Sound and AbsOrbed More messing 'bout in GIMP Photo Software :-) I was only goin' to add this to AbsOrbed but then I thought there is a tower here so I could also link this to "Ivory Tower" by Blackmore's Night :-) This shot features the Andrew Wiles Building and the Radcliffe Observatory (now part of Green Templeton College) topped by The Tower of Winds in Oxford. ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Ivory Tower ~ Blackmore's Night

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) Maybe a little better on black :-)
