I really
wanted
to clone out
that nasty looking lamp post
but
I am a novice at cloning
I gave up
Google+ has taken over Picnik
but
they didnt keep the
'premium' effects
cloning being one
so
I went to PicMonkey
used their
'for now its free'
clone feature
which would have worked
if
I
had
more
patience
so live with it in the photo
pretend with me
its not there
suspend
your
belief
you know
til recently
I thought
the expression
was
'suspend your
DISbelief'
wrong
digression is my friend
back on track
you can see
this
is
a trifecta of towers
of tanks
another thing
I learned
was
most people
call then
water
tanks
not me
I like the term
tower
water tower
these 3
while looking a lot alike
are all different
enjoy looking up!
sometimes I say tower.. other times
ReplyDeleteI say tank.. its all the same really.
Corel PaintShop has a nice little
object removal wand that you would
adapt to in a nanosecond.
I like the light..sort of.
ReplyDeletebut I must admit, I am an expert at the clone and PicMonkey's..'free for now'...is just the same as Picnik's. Practice makes perfect. or good enough.
Love the different colors and textures in the various buildings.
I enjoy digressing with you. Tower- definitely!
ReplyDeletela la loving it

I must practice cloning....one day soon. It's almost bedtime so I can just squint and the lamp post goes away:-)
ReplyDeleteit's past my bedtime, so what light post?! Wonder who has the courage to do the maintenance on the myriad of water towers in your city? Always curious:)
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on the hipstamatic app...haven't even used my regular camera for a while now..will have to check on the PicMonkey...
Have a wonderful day!
I clone, but sometimes not well. I've ignored your lamp post and am enjoying the towers.
ReplyDeleteWhat lamp-post? ;)
ReplyDeleteThe trick I use in cloning is to enlarge the area you want to work in - that makes it SO much easier! I use Photoscape - which is also free. I just pretended the light pole wasn't there and enjoyed the photo!
ReplyDeleteYou could also call them cisterns. I like the way cisterns rolls of the tongue. But then most cisterns are underground so never mind... LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the term water tower too. Light pole? what light pole? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThere's a light pole in the photo?
ReplyDeleteHoly camoly ... I forgot about PicMonkey ... better than Picnik ... oh, how I wish more time in the day to play around with all these apps!
ReplyDeleteThat light pole doesn't bother me at all...it adds the business of a city scape. I don't do much cloning because it is such tedious work and this one looks like it would be difficult because the background is so busy.
ReplyDeleteWill have to ask my NYer Mr O if he calls em towers or tanks:)
Daryl, there certainly is a great variety of towers. I like towers better than tanks too!
ReplyDeleteI like it, of course! I now have an image that has at least 8 (maybe 9) towers in it! I'm sure I took it when we were in Union Square.
ReplyDeleteTower. Period. I wouldn't have noticed the light because I am now forever looking up :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, of course
Hmmmmm, towers...and only because, to me, a tank would sit on the ground. Cool photo!
ReplyDeleteNice take on the location.
ReplyDeleteI like saying water towers, too. It just seemed right. And being me, I didn't even notice the street lamp until you mentioned it. It would be difficult cloning it out (for me, anyway).
ReplyDeleteTower for sure and I didn't focus on the light before you mentioned it. The best cloning tool is to just not draw attention to it. ;) I could wipe it out for you if you want but then the air conditioner would be the new eyesore. ;)
ReplyDeleteI was too busy looking at the 'wild' greenery seemingly growing out of the building BEHIND the lamp post to notice it Daryl haha. Nice set of three towers!!
ReplyDeleteI honestly did not notice it!
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the towers and that beautiful blue sky!
