End of Summer


Sunset
Dusk!  We stopped at a Lake Placid Market to pick up snacks for Wolfgang's busy skating schedule the next day.  Sun-gilded clouds wreathed the mountains to the west.   I had to capture that image.  Yet, what I found on my camera was not as beautiful as I remembered.  With textures, I was able to bring that image back to life.   Amazing what textures can do for an disappointing image.

Original Image

Wolfgang skates five plus days a week in preparation for ice dance competitions.  I work extra shifts in order to pay for it.  That's the nature of being a skater's parent.  So far, I can say it's been worth it -- seeing him grow in stamina, disciple, and confidence.  Skating has improved his practice at the piano.
