Just remember to click your heels three times and say "There's no place like home" in case you end up in OZ! Nice pic.

Hope it's no offense to those who ever witnessed such a scene IRL...

Well, now here's the original:

(Technically, "original" is not correct, as the sky is also digitally attached here).

That is a gorgeous photo, and your Photoshop skills are first rate. Did you take the original picture?

Thanks! :) Yes, I took the original photo, but actually it's two in one. I added the sky to the picture of the field. The sky in that one was almost white, very boring, so I added the sky from another picture.

Dis the same with these:

Wow! I wish I was as talented at photoshop...the lighting effects are spectacular!

I know if I want something "touched up" I don't have to look very far ;)

What do you mean by “not very impressive”?
Of course they are, silly girl! They’re beautiful! Keep them coming!
Yes, I’m German. I was in Germany the first two weeks in May and this is my sad attempt of capturing a Poppy field. I didn’t get close enough because I had my Mom in the car, who desperately needed to find a bathroom.

auggie, the poppy picture and one of the others won't show up for me. Where was the last one (the one of the tower) taken? From which area in Germany do you/your ancestors come?

I moved them over to imagestation.
The tower is part of the church in the picture right below.
I’m from Rheinland Pfalz, but grew up near Hamburg.
I hope I didn't highjack your beautiful picture threat with my crappy photos.

I do not think your photos are crappy! They show a beautiful scenery. I've never been to Rheinland Pfalz so far, but judging from your pictures (and others I think), it must be a nice place with this grape-vine and all. :) I was in Hamburg a couple of times. When did you move away from Germany?
