Stories Collected While Living in France
The familiar train ride home.
Crossing over the Rhone river,
A castle on either side,
Villeneuve-les-Avignon and Avignon,
Face to face.
Tree lined borders,
VanGogh's painted fields in golden hues,
A Cezanne sky.
Still Life History.
I held my cell phone against the smugged train window,
TGV speed and snapped a photo.
No paint brushes,
Nor oil paint, not even a smock,
Timeless.
A miracle of another era capturing the same truth.
Beauty.
…
Follow me on Facebook and or
too right – ’tis beautiful.
Like a Turner painting – his smudgy colours.
Love the way you see things. Hey, what’s up with Annie?
0UGH! I love what you did with this image, Corey! Driving me mad. Such a marvelous dreamy storybook charm. Please oh please, do you remember how you achieved it?? (The Photoshop slipper is now on the other foot, eh?!)
That’s amazing…your cell phone photo like a master’s painting.
I wish any of OUR photos out the TGV window had turned out so artistically!
Hi Shelley, I do not use Photoshop because it is too complicated and heavy. Instead I use either Picmonkey, Typepad’s program or Instagram. With this photo I used an Instagram filter Lo-Fi, Tilt Shift and Contrasting. Easy to use without any need to understand. Thank you!
So gorgeous, I want to be there.
dearest corey.. i miss your writings and returned to your blog to be in touch with you again… i do not regret it. your words are poetry and lift and inspire me.
thank you for transporting me to a journey i love..
hugs aplenty,
