Blog 021 "J'était ailleurs! Mais où...?" / "Elsewhere!" : photographic illusion

"I was elsewhere ..! But where ...?"   (Google translate)

I don't like to overuse software pre-set effects, unless they can be justified. In the case above, I created a reflection at the bottom, about two-thirds of it, to accentuate the curves of the winter branches. I also opted for a sepia effect to give it an atmosphere from another era. As long as the accompanying text, he explains that in this place I have always lived there, I find myself there regularly, but with this transformation, I lost my bearings.

"I was somewhere else ...! But where ...?"

The cold of February intoxicates me and I get lost,

My steps guide me in an unknown landscape,

Yet I was born there, but lost in my thoughts.
