I actually think it creates the right *impression* with the grainy outlook.

May I ask (and sorry to ask) where exactly this scene is? At first I thought you went to my hometown:shock: then after another look, I realised how silly I was. With a comparison of surreal touches of different kinds, I come to appreciate your photo even more

Wow, Tsien. How did you do that? Did you start with a photo?

BTW, the bridge is in southcentral Pennsylvania.

It was not me who did it. I used to take it as my avatar. I attached it because I couldn't find a handy photo to furnish an illustration of taste differences between the East and the West. I think it's certainly not the bridge by its own right, it must be the overall milieu that is at working. This is why I tend to favor keeping the grass in your photo. To me the entire scene is quintessential English. No wonder it's in New England.

One picture is worth 1000 words, you can check out the following photo on the net:
