 It was really windy out on the end of the wharf on Saturday morning, and I guess my poor little tripod wasn't as sturdy as I thought it was, which is why there is motion blur on the oil rigs. Anyhow, I thought they looked pretty cool.

The overlay is an old postcard mailed from China. I felt compelled to add a little something, so I made my own brush with another postmark, this time from Shanghai. Added some texture using CS5, and put an off-white border to make it look old.

Love it! It's like I'm crying as I read it and that's why it's blurry.

It looks like luminous eagle heads bobbing in the water. There is an old postcard or two wafting by. Wait.... it's only a dream.

Postcards usually are so sharp and clear. It is beautiful to see a postcard that is blurry like this! I like it very much.
