1066 - No Place Like Home



1066: Battle of Hastings. Uhhh … damn those associations πŸ™‚

This is an image of Sunday. I took it in the early evening, just minutes before we arrived in Villach after 9.5 hours of driving. Most of the way from KrakΓ³w to the Slovak border it just did not rain, most of the way through Slovakia we had sunshine, but then in Austria we came into some of the worst rains that I’ve ever had to endure on a highway. Still, everything went well.

The Song of the Day is “No Place Like Home” from the 1992 4 Non Blondes album “Bigger, Better, Faster, More!”. They had one or two hits then, made this album and were never heard of. It’s not their best song, YouTube has it, but I suggest you hear into the biggest hit “What’s Up?” as well. Much better for my retarded taste πŸ™‚

Great light you've captured here - I guess there was some decent postprocessing involved, but it brings out wonderfully that heavy weather mood.

You bet there was πŸ™‚

Otoh, the result, though not far from what I saw, is much better than I would have expected. Basically this was a desperate last minute effort πŸ™‚

Well, I guess sometimes postprocessing is a bit like make-up - well done it pronounces personality, without it the face can be bland, not at all inviting to a second look, but if it's overdone it's as bad as none....
