I feel that this is one of the most beautiful spots in the world in early spring or late fall. It is such an inspiration to me that when I go to the Doctor and have my blood pressure checked. I have Doctor fear which elevates my blood pressure. I will have the first reading taken and then ask them to do a second one. During the second reading I very intensely concentrate and pictures this view in my mind. I will get a reading from 10 to 12 points lower than the first one.Editing
I do not do much post-processing. I may make minor adjustments to light, color, and clarity, and that's about itIn my camera bag
