Alcatraz Lighthouse

Textures by Shadowhouse Creations and Brian Nolan create a stormy background for my photo of the lighthouse on Alcatraz Island in the San Francisco Bay.

Pienza

Taken during my trip to Tuscany a few years ago, this photo of a facade of a house in lovely Pienza features an added texture by distressed jewel.

Squirrel

This squirrel was sitting on a rock in the park by the Mountain View city library.  I've added a texture from DJ Pettit.

Siena

During my visit to Siena, the duomo facade was undergoing restoration and I had trouble taking any good exterior shots. This photo was taken from the former Medici Fortress, now a public park.

I've added textures from Les Brumes, Shadowhouse Creations and Sy Parrish.

Avignon

The Palace of the Popes was just a few minutes by foot from out hotel. During our stay in Avignon, I never tired of walking past its Gothic facade and observing its moods change from daylight to darkness.

I've added textures from boccacino, Shadowhouse Creations and sophie g.

Montepulciano

Beginning with a photo I took of a quiet back street in the Tuscan hilltown of Montepulciano, I then added a crumpled paper texture by ol wizard, resulting in an even more weathered look.

Something Different

This started out as a photo of Nyphenburg Palace in Munich. I added textures from Shadowhouse Creations and les brumes and liked the effect I ended up with after a few more adjustments.
