2011_07_28 Textured Background

Made with PSE9, on a Laptop PC, with Win7
I used a photo that I took when I was in Bancroft, which is in northern Ontario, for the layout image. From a section of it, I made my template and used the stone pattern included in PSE9, as an overlay to give more texture the the background. I then chose a colour from the rock, to colour the background and used the screen setting. From the same section of rock, I made a brush and used it, on overlay setting, behind the photo. I also used the brush to colour the text, with the same colour that I used for the background. From the photo, I chose a section and extracted some of the bush, which I used for embellishments.

Rock Face

While driving the
northern highways
of Ontario, many
beautiful rock faces
can be seen.
Because of the
rocky terrain,
the paths for the
highways, are
blasted out of
the rock, leaving
vertical rockfaces.
Sometimes a trickle
of water can be seen
flowing from a crevice
in the rock and in
other places, plants
and trees, take root.
While I enjoy the
views of crop and
animal farms, in
central Ontario,
the shear rock,
trees and small lakes
that are distributed
throughout
Northern Ontario
are an awesome
sight to behold.
