Parksville, BC - a shot from the summer hols. The picture was adjusted using Picasa 3, tweaks included graduated tinting, to bring out the 'purple'; an overall pleasing effect I thought.
Now I gotta check out picasa and graduated tinting because I just LOVE the efect of the sky and the liquid gold of the water. And the layered colors of the hills. Of course the tree is great...sweet little focal point!
