Stairway from Heaven
There are many more shots to post from the West Texas excursion, but I need a break. I'll post more after this short intermission. This shot is from a fancy house turned museum in Houston.
I'll be hiking in the Grand Canyon for most of this coming week. This is more of a hiking trip than a photography trip, but I'll definitely bring my camera and try to capture some of the views. There is nothing in the queue for next week, but I promise I'll line up more from West Texas and hopefully also a few from Arizona after I get back on the 13th. Have a good weekend and a good week. I'll see you in 10 days!

Go to "heaven," Martin, and have a blast. I absolutely LOVE this image. It's sharp, focused, colorful...and emotive!
Kudos both to you and the interior decorator!
Gorgeous! I love the simplicity of this shot which is lifted into the `extraordinary` with those vibrant prime colours. Have a great break. (:o)
These colors are unreal ! Love it !
I like the vibrant colours. Have a great time!
What a wonderful composition of colours - so simple yet it is all you need.

Very nice and colourful!
Great contrast in coloring.
Ramble on Martin ;o)
Have a great trip Martin. This is a great colour shot to leave us with!
Martin, have a safe hike, please come back unharmed, NOT bitten by scorpions...this is one way to say goodbye, LOVE the colors and the composition, shadows and the light.
I'm already looking forward to the Grand Canyon. I was there myself about 20 years ago, but I wasn't taking many pictures at the time. I remember getting very scared on some of those narrow trails above vertiginous drops.
I like the artful simplicity of this one too.
cool. mal
Really like this one, Martin...keep wonering where the stairs go.
Have fun hiking! What a great capture. The lighting here really makes this shot for me.
Have a great hiking trip Martin,it's one of my favorite past-times.
Love you way to heaven
I like it! the colours and light!!!
Have a relaxing tone! Greetings from Barcelona!
you already know the colours are incredible
but seriously, this one's a likey...
lovely shot Martin, Oe, LOL. Have a great time away. mal
YUMMMM delicious stairs! Of course i LOVE this photo, b/c i love pictures of stairs. Love the color combination - did you go paint them so they would be complementing colors?
What a blistering final post before your 'wander'. Hope the foot blisters don't materialise. richard
Excellent composition!
Nice contrast between the colours!
Simpicity is the shit! This is so beautiful. The blue and red are not only in perfect tones. They goes well together as well. Did you used a gel filter on a flash for the red?
Lovely colourful shot: I like it very much
Love this and can't wait to see your Grand canyon shots especially with the wide angle lens. Have a nice holiday.
Despite a brilliant color scheme, there is something wrong with the composition here, Martin. Maybe you have too much of a stair here? Some empty space on the right. You know, the shot looks much better on the thumbnail. Try to crop it square losing the empty space on the right, and see if you like it better. Otherwise, it's very entertaining.
WOW! What an excellent minimalist shot!
The beauty of simplicity.
Great!
This is one of my faves, Martin. Stunning.
Grand Canyon?? Jeepers. Enjoy.
Fantastic composition in these two opposite colors
Very interesting colors make this photo look really unreal. Great !
as usual.. well composed with brilliant colours
Martin I love the colours and tonal range in this shot! You've taken a simple subject and made it into a great photo!
oh these colors are incredible! Great find.
What is this about this set of stairs that makes it look like it goes down only? Brilliant!!!
I wish you a beautiful heaven, full of these greats images! (oh, my english, my english..)
c'est absolument magnifique !!! Superbes couleurs, j'aurais aimé prendre cette photo !
You know when the photographer is in a class apart far above the rest, when simple objects or subjects become extremely interesting or strongly emotive to the viewer.
Martin, I have not been on SC for a while but you just earned the FULL five stars with this shot!!! LIKEY PS. unlucky you, you'll have to wait 7 more days to notice my comment LOL
Superbe composition avec des couleurs bien flashy comme je les aime...bravo
beautiful colours!
Clever allusion I must say... and as always very vivid (I think I'm writing that every time... but it is so true)...
like how u freezed this...
Wow..Nice composition Martin. Love the colors.
Have a great trip..
A likey Maestro !!
Excellent - likey. So why go hikey?
Don't be a monkey and use a little ass donkey! |
