Playing with the Picnik Texture Effect

I went a little crazy with the Picnik Texture effect and here is the result:

View of Big Ben from Saint James's Park - Autumn in London

View of the London Eye from St. James's Park - Fall in London

I first took a look at all the texture effects on Picnik, then decided to try the crumpled paper texture and old yellow paper texture on these autumn pictures of London which looked bad because of the grey/white sky. I also played with the brick wall texture Picnik effect on a photo taken with my cell phone that I
already posted on the blog a few months ago.

Halloween Night at Assistens Kirkegård Cemetery

Those are the kind of stupid pictures that you take when you forget about the time change and almost end up locked up  in a huge cemetery like Copenhagen's Assistens Kirkegård  after closing time on the eve of Halloween night! :-)

A visit to Ravenna, the City of Mosaics

As you can see in these pictures, Ravenna, Italy, is really worth a visit for its splendid Bysantine mosaics dating back to the 5th-6th Century. A tour of the city can take more than one day since there is a lot to see and Ravenna mosaics can be admired in 8 different religious buildings, all listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Church of San Vitale, the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Neonian Baptistery, the Arian Baptistery, the Archiepiscopal Chapel and the Mausoleum of Theodoric.
