TheNiche Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Photos from a trip back up to Garner State Park from back in January. Despite this being such a popular park, I'd never been before, but even during the off-season, it gets a fair bit of traffic. The cabins even had a reasonably low vacancy rate considering the price. Btw, I don't recommend the cabins for an attempt at a romantic weekend. They're far too utilitarian, almost institutional. Throws off the vibe from the rest of the park. Much better to rough it in a tent, even if temperatures get low, even (or perhaps especially ) if there's a female companion in the mix. Also check out my water shots. I like these because they make a good starting point for experimenting with photographic texture by changing color, hue, brightness, contrast, etc. The last one really only had one particularly good outcome that I could come up with (short of completely distorting the image), but I left the others in their original condition for the benefit of artistically-inclined HAIFers.

MidtownCoog Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I think he means there ain't now water in the river. I remember that old Frio river where I learned to swim. And it brings to mind another time where I wore my welcome thin. My transcendental meditation, I go there each night, But I always come back to myself long before daylight.

My place was "The Window" at Big Bend. When I go to Garner in my mind, I can still hear "Blackland Farmer" playing at The Pavilion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNiche Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Beautiful!! You're a very talented photographer.Thank you! I appreciate the compliment, but I wish I could say that I were satisfied with myself. I have a long way to go and not nearly enough time or patience in which to get there.
