Frost and more

Hi Everybody!

For Art Journal Journey, light and darkness, I have 
another hybrid piece. I used some elements from
Mischief Circus




Here it is still cold, crisp and frosty. The skies are clear
so we had a lovely sunrise:



The trees were all covered with frost and sparkled in the sun:






 The fine icicles look like they are made of glass:




The raven was waiting at the top of his frosty tree
for breakfast:


I snapped these icy plants next to the tram stop this morning:



And the bronze rhino by the Kunstpalast Museum 
was covered in ice and frost:


Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

Frosty weather

Hi Everybody!

Hope your weekend is going well.
It is very cold, misty and frosty here, and we need to walk
carefully so as not to slip.

For Art Journal Journey, Light and darkness, I made a hybrid piece using a photo
of the moon taken from my window for the background. I cut the  silhouettes
many moons ago, and this time they are jumping over the moon. The stars are from Mischief Circus.




I enjoyed my freezing walk this morning, well wrapped up against
the cold. The mist was quite dense, and the ground covered with a layer of frost:




It was strange not to be able to see the Rhine!


The sun kept trying to come out:





The frozen plants looked lovely:






The roses in the hospital garden froze, too:


I gave this photo a digital makeover to use it as a card - feel free to use it if you like it.

Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

More this and that for Saturday

Hi Everybody!

It's weekend - enjoy!

For Art Journal journey, light and darkness, I have another hybrid piece:




(Digital elements from Mischief Circus and Serif.)

Yesterday I visited the Hetjens museum in the Altstadt (old town),
directly by the old customs harbour. They have a wonderful
collection of ceramic and porcelain.

Here the view from the ground floor to the harbour:


Outside I found a gull who eagerly shared the remains 
of my breakfast:






There were great views of the Altstadt from the upstairs windows:




This piece was near the entrance:


This is a Russian piece showing King Solomon:


I love the African ceramic lion-head:


I will show more pictures of all the wonders to be seen there
when I have sorted them. On the way home I passed through the
square in front of the Town Hall, and got a good shot 
of the Christmas Market, the town hall and the Big Wheel:

Have a great day, take care
and thanks  lot for coming by!
