...the power of the unexpected

Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility.
Saint Augustine

This week for Texture Tuesday I used a photo {last photo below} of downtown Bend, OR and of the historic Tower Theater sign...
The vantage point I shot from was awesome and I can't remember the original reason for snapping the pix other than I probably thought the 'birds-eye-view' might be kind of cool...

I cropped and re-worked the original photo to my liking,
then finished it by layering Kim Klassen's 'celebrate'  texture over the top...

I think it turned out very antique-y looking...kind of retro-cool! What do you think?

I remembered that I had the Tower sign from the back entrance in my photo file from last year and used Kim's texture 'dustyrose' over the photo below and LOVE it!
I didn't expect it to turn out so cute!
I love it when that happens!

Our challenge this week was called the WORD edition...we had to use a word in the photo somewhere...Thanks Kim for the challenge, it was a lot of fun...

Here's hoping you can do something unexpected and fun 

with something that's least expected!...

See you next time 8)
