Heh — a tilted horizon is one of those mistakes that Photoshop quickly fixes.
But I reverted this fix. Because who needs the n-millionth photo of lovely anonymous ocean under blue cumulus heaven?
What the original captured was my imperfection in the face of abstract blue perfection. And somehow the tilted horizon also reminds me that this peaceful scene is the result of enormously chaotic motions of wind and water, scattering light with implacable random changefulness.
Not that I want the bright folks of modern photography to imitate my error-prone horizons. At least, not unless their galleries stock seasick medicine…

What a surprise, a left-leaning picture. ;)

Hmmm — well, Photoshop also makes it quite easy to flip horizontal, if you would prefer to see this tilting right.
But if you did prefer that, I’m not sure that you will like the whole rest of my blog…

Left, right… all too conventional for me. Upside down is more like my style. :)
Before I forget: Merry Christmas. I’ll try to be good at least this week.

HO HO HO (upside down, that would be OH OH OH) and a very merry Christmas to you too.
