Wednesday, February 18, 2009. These are actually from last November when I got back to the japanese gardens in Palermo, serenely beautiful little oasis in the middle of the parks area of the city. I could have spent all day there. I found this cool effect on my camera which isolates the colour of your choice and takes the rest of the photo in black and white, the results were quite interesting with the striking red bridges, blue sky and green foliage to choose from.
