Lovely. :-) And I dig the painterly processing. Is there a particular filter you're using to achieve that? Or do you create the effect yourself through compositing?

Wonderful colours and structure, love it!
It's an art to discover something like that in the first place - you definitely have the "photographer's eye"

Love it. Exactly the kind of abstract I would consider using for a double exposure overlay.

Like palm fronds on fire. Great lines and color.

I like the contrasting motion of "up" on the left and "down" on the right, although the very bright patch in the lower left corner does draw my eye a tad too much. The photographs of your glass collection over the years have been a delight. This is the first red piece that I recall seeing!

The eye of the viewer moves though this image quite nicely. Well done.

I agree with all the previous comments, and my apologies that rather than come up with a new comment I took a delightful side-trip looking up information about Mt Rowan, in part out of general interest in Australian geography and also because I visited Ballarat when my sister lived near there years ago.

From Wikipedia I got:

"Mount Rowan is a small extinct volcano on the edge of the city of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. It was also known as Waldies Hill.[1] It is 518 metres above sea level.[2] The lava flows from the volcano are thought to be from 2.1 million to 2.9 million years ago. It is one of the 123 volcanoes in the Ballarat and Daylesford area.[3] These are part of the Western Victorian Volcanic Plains.I .

That's a lot of volcanoes!

I love how the birds break up the monotony of the lines in this image, although I'm also a big fan of lines only in many instances!

The processing is so cool for this. Great title too!

like nostalgic lace. Your tile makes it a little bit sad and reminds me of the saying "Growing old is not for cowards"
