    Pennsylvania State Monument at Gettysburg

    There's really nothing to say about this stop at Gettysburg other than that The Goobs went up to the top and waved at me.  I didn't go up with them so I can't verify this, but they said the entire thing was hollow.  Pretty cool, right?  I mean, it sure looks substantial to me.

    I didn't post this picture to tell you the monument was hollow, though.  I posted it to laugh at myself, because I frittered away nearly half an hour playing with this picture in PSE6.  I can't even begin to remember all the things I did; it's the most photoshopped picture in the history of the world, and it looks it.  And now I'm telling you all about it because I feel that I have to confess.  I could have been cooking something or cleaning something or teaching something, but all I have in exchage for my thirty minutes is one heavily photoshopped picture of a monument I don't really care about.

    Be ye warned, people.  PSE6 will suck you in and you might never escape.

    Photoshop: the real opiate of the masses.

    I do not recall that monument when I toured Gettysburg.....I wonder why? Of course I did not have a digital camera then either - this was back in the last century that I was there and they were very expensive. More likely than not I left my camera in Alaska when I visited over Easter in 1990.

    Sometimes I play with some photos when utilizing PSE6 but I still don't have it figured out by any stretch of the imagination.

    So are you all home yet or are you still at the farm?

    Well, you are ahead of me. I didn't even know I was suppose to be cleaning, weeding or teaching instead of playing with pictures! The picture looks fabulous by the way.

    I love me some Photoshop. I am a SUCKY photographer, and it allows me to try bring my pictures back to a normal level, lol!
