Classic Britain

248/365 Classic Britain, originally uploaded by afortiorama.

Manchester, terrace houses. It was a nice evening yesterday and going for shopping I brought my camera. I lifted my head and there was the moon over this classic row of houses. This is another picture that has been knocked into shape with GIMP.

I do not have any filter yet so I used the gradient tool to darken the sky and lighten the terrace houses. Darkening of the sky also brought out the plane trail that I hadn't really noticed when I shot this picture.

After I took this though I started to read about filters on the WEB and ended up buying a book about the subject.
