[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The stream that runs along my property made this abstract painting for me.
Unfortunately, signs of mankind add some colour and texture derived from the most incredible things that the people in my neighbourhood throw into it: all types of empty containers including those of chemical products; dead animals and their leftovers like rabbit skins, chicken feathers, etc; waste products from factories which make the sand in the river turn into greenish grey, slimy mud.
I guess the list is long enough.
The saddest thing though is that not even the local authorities care.
NOBODY “SEES”.

PHOTOFILTRE: Revived colours-Sharpened-Framed-Resized all the way down to 720 width because of uploading difficulties.

Thank you for visiting and have a wonderful weekend.
Keep smiling :)

Hy Lurdes!
Very beautiful picture...Great idea...
Kind regards


Stefan!!!

Great combination of colours and textures, I love it !

Good morning Lurdes

Well you made this theme into such an interesting image here. Excellent colours and a very abstract view on a daily life image. Your notes are also very interesing. The framing is really neat here I love the rolled 3d effect edges.

TFS and for joining in the theme
kind regards Helen

Ola Maria! Beautiful game of colors. Wonderful lightness. Interesting POV. Original effect. Good composition. Good luck! Saude!

A marvellous color contrast between the turquoise & red. A superb abstraction with good sharpness. Tfs!

Hi my friend,

Its true that the river system nowdays all over the world is being polluted, but people always forget that this is the most precious natural resource that we must preserve as water is life for all nature's resources..It is even more valuable than oil...

I dont want to see our children having a situation like those in the movie called "waterworld".

Good shot, nicely composed and beautiful POV.

TFS

Hi Lurdes
Very special colour but beautiful.

Although I sympathise with you, Lurdes, about the pollution, the only good point is the beautiful abstract pattern it has produced! A multitiude of shapes and colours intermingle to create this pleasing, visual effect!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great natural abstract Lurdes,
A fine entry to the theme,
Well done! - Vincent

Hi Lurdes,
Very nice abstract, a reminder that beauty can be found everywhere, you just have to look for it. We may also see this as beauty that really comes from inside.
Have a nice weekend,
Tibi

Hi Lurdes

Now I finally get to see what you mentioned earlier, although partly rubbish but they make up a good image, especially oily reflection of light.

Nice pov. I like the contrast here. TFS

Olá Lurdes!
Excelente abstracto, umas cores fantásticas.
Belo pormenor, bem conseguido. Parabéns.
Abraço fraterno,

Hi Lurdes,

Sometimes beauty is also ugly. Like in this picture.
It gives a double feeling, but in two ways you did an excellent job. You told the world about this pollution and you showed us a good abstract image.

Hi Lurdes

This is truly art and the colour and natural look so abstract to me... congrats and TFS

Boa ideia esta... ñão tenho bem a certeza se esses azuis são o reflexo do céu mas de qualquer forma estão aí muito bem, num contraste de cores!

Parabéns

Good shot for the theme Lurdes, well composed, well seen and well done ! Thanks !

Hi Lurdes,

What you are telling is really terrible. I think people themselves have to be aware in order to change the habit of just dumping things in streams - very hard to enforce rules like that. Is there an action going on to make people aware of what they are doing. Such a stream is no pleasure to have running alongside your property!.

Only good thing is that it got you a great abstract - maybe in this case then the title must have been (UN)natural abstract.

Take care
Els
