Canon PowerShot SX260 HS; 1/1000, f/3.5, ISO 200, focal length 5.8mm; AUTO setting; Slight color boost in Picasa3.9
I actually got chills when I saw this abstract image in the old and decaying wood side of a boat in Cedar Key, Florida, USA. A perfect example of what I call the “alternative universe,” these faux cliffside dwellings are reminiscent of the real thing in the Southwest USA, such as the Anastasi Indian Cliff Dwellings. I’ve seen them only in pictures.

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

Thank you, Lynn! I didn’t do anything to this besides a slight color boost. I loved the textures in that old wood, too!
