Love the colors! This has a real dreamy look to it. First glance of the thumbnail reminded me of the "Lord of the rings" movies. The images Frodo sees whenever he puts on the ring. They had this kind of dreamy look to it.

Me too! But, she also wrote under another name, A. N. Roquelaure. She did an erotic trilogy of the story of Sleeping Beauty. "The claiming of Sleeping Beauty." (Warning! This ain't no Disney story!)

This shot is my favorite in the gallery. AWSOME
At this point in time, as I look out my window, the sky is a greenish grey. We are under a tornado watch, It is raining like HELL, pea sized hail, wind is rageing. I LOVE IT!! Just hope I don't lose my net. The photo goes perfect with my surroundings. Only thing I can say is that I wish it were in that greenish-grey color. Well, tornado on the ground just to the north. Everybody should live in tornado alley
Lightening is getting pretty rough. I LOVE IT!!

There have been quite a few shots on this site that have made my jaw drop a little, however, this one made my jaw hit the table, drop onto the floor, and roll under my chair. Absolutely amazing shot Motts. I am at a loss for words.

I grew up with this image fresh in my nightmares. Being to young to even Know it was a psychiatric institution I always felt an ominous presence driving by in the family sedan. Although i agree It's visually haunting, unlike it's occupants it seems to escape everyones conscience what this place was .
