Mick Mather Extends My Sardinian Photo on His Blog

Mick Mather produces MickMathersArtBlog. I have written about it before and we frequently exchange comments on my Art and Photography Blog. He has been kind to provide frequent responses to my posting there. Mick recently extended one of my Sardinian photos in his post, Something abstract? See the link for the photo and clicked on the following for the complete post: Photos of Sardinia Mountains in Gennargentu National Park. As Mick wrote, As “I looked at the old and weathered wall to the right side of the door I was seeing an abstract painting. Hmm, a bit of cropping, filtering, manipulating and layering and this is what I got.”

Thanks to Mick for creating this work and for a great art blog. Happy Halloween.

"ancient Eryce was a prosperous Elimi city, Eryx, famous for its temple to a fertility goddess, Astarte, later identified with Venus and worshipped by the Romans.
