"Orange Street?"

"Orange Street?" The tourist smirked. "Colonialists who built this town were way optimistic. Like, nobody'd ever grow oranges in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, right?"

Walking on by I smiled and murmurred, "Pity he's not seen our sunsets.";)

Very intriguing introduction to the great picture, Ted. I can see myself walking there asking that question ...

You are correct Helen. This image is exactly and precisely the way I saw it... in my imagination. Which makes it very "natural" to me.:)

We are fortunate as photographers to live in the beginning of a time when all we can imagine we can create. And we are the first to investigate the potential. It thrills me to think about it. Why, I can even add grit to a city shot when it needs it. Couldn't do that with my old Nikons and wet darkroom. Nope.

Thanks for the kind words.

You know Olli, I actually overheard some very nice visitors muse something a lot like that on the street. And then on Friday evening I saw this pouring over those great twin steeples. And I had a brilliant idea (pun intended).

Thanks for noticing the way the written idea interacts. It was part of my "brilliant" moment. ;)
