Photo Art

From time to time I like to spend a little time with Photoshop to produce simulated art from some of my pictures taken during various walks. I present some of them here for you to stroll through, hope you like them.

Take Me to the Tower

Today we spent the aftenoon strolling around the Terraced Gardens in Rivington, part of the former estate of the late Lord Leverhulme. There are many permutations of routes around the gardens, but we only had time to visit a small selection.

Top of the Waterfall

Today I spent another three hours with the dogs in the Terraced Gardens at Rivington, including finding the top of the tiered waterfall I went looking for last Wednesday. It’s all pretty overgrown now but it must have looked really good when it was constructed in the 1920’s.

In Search of a Waterfall

I first saw this waterfall in May 2004 on one of my first walks around the Terraced Gardens at Rivington when there was little water flowing. Now, with the constant rain of the past few weeks there is plenty of water, so I thought I’d pay the waterfall another visit.
