In my way back I t was almost dark and I stopped to take some pictures. I took just this one since my battery was already flat.

I liked it as it was at the beginning but I worked a bit on it to make it shine...

I tried to make not to look too fake, not with the idea to fool anyone but more with the idea of make it look a bit believable. Anyway, here is my try...





Thanks so much for your comments and advice...
