Well, that’s what if felt like today anyway, the arctic that is. I hope today’s picture gives that feeling perhaps.
I went to Nashville today to pick up my niece Chrystal who was returning from a Christmas visit to her son, Brad and his family, in Colorado.
This being the first day of the Arctic Vortex that has brought extreme cold further south than it has in a very long time I decided to head to Music City early so I would have some time to shoot some “Urban Landscapes” for a “film” challenge I’m doing this year also. (Those challenge pictures will be posted the end of end of each month.)
I’ve been to Nashville a lot over the years, but today my sister, April, and I wandered around areas that I’ve not been to before as I was looking for things that said “Urban Landscape” to me. That’s also where this photo creation came from.
It’s a scene along the river just down from the Titan’s Stadium and with the temperature being 7 degrees at that time, not counting the chill factor, I really didn’t spend a lot of time shooting this scene on my iPhone as I couldn’t wear my gloves and operated the touch screen very well. It’s on a dock that runs along the river under a walk bridge and the wind was whipping off the water pretty good so I shot about two frames of this scene.
I kinda had the idea of processing the image the same way as yesterday’s image and was really interested in how the sun and clouds were going to turn out. I’m pretty happy with the end results.
I used the native camera, an App called Painteresque and another called Snapseed, all to produce what you see here.
