Warme Wafels

A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap

- Mitch Hedberg

Quite an experimental post today, something I haven't tried in quite a while. I was going to process this in my "old" style but then the hippie inside of me woke up and this is basically a sort of fusion style of processing that was just super-spontaneous.

Took this one in Brussels. We did have waffles for breakfast one day and yup, they were quite yummy.

Also, thank you for all the lovely comments on yesterday's shot. I think I made a mistake by posting it on Friday because I think that that shot merits a lot more traffic so if anyone didn't see yesterday's post, please do.

These old VW mini busses tend to re-awaken the hippie in me. Man what you could have doen with them little wagons. Stash wagon, carried lotsa boards, and some thing you can't mention here. Paint some flowers on it!

The tone has something old in it and i think it fits the subject. Great shot.
Samarth: LOL!...thnaks a lot louis...

Miam-miam, des Gaufres à la Chantilly,hmmmmmmmm ;-)
Cool image ;-)) I like the processing very much too (adds something of the 70's feelin..)
Samarth: thanks jean...its what i was going for...
wow i really would like to have a copy of this photo. i absolutely love it.
Samarth: Thanks a lot genvieve...
Nice processing Samarth...works well. Phil
Samarth: Thanks Phil...weren't you around during the hippie age?
Sorry Sam not happy about this processing. The front of the van is blown out on my monitor. It is an interesting piece of kit.
Samarth: to each his own i guess...
I like this picture and the tone, but I would have photoshopped out the black car beside it.
Samarth: thanks gabrielle... i guess i shudve cloned it out but that would mean too much work wink...

You've got an inner hippie? That's so cool. I used to dress in my mom's "hippie" clothes her cousin made her buy.

Love the look of this shot...warm like a waffle. Love waffles, I make them at least once a month.
Samarth: lol, the weekend's been a bit sunny and it just feels so chilled....
Nice toning, and yeah i love waffles too!!
Samarth: Thanks ashish...theyre definitely tasty...

Sam, here's the stuff I saw this morning that you didn't read about.

At one public landing, a very small (smaller than the length of a large home) strip of beach that is inbetween private properties worth at least a half million each, right there on the beach, was the skeleton of a deer. The only thing still on it was facial hair and a few flies. And there were half a dozen test tubes stuck on the braches of dead trees for the kids to smoke crack, I guess.

At another public landing a poor old dog with constipation came to poop in front of me while I was folding up my tripod.

And finally, I was spotted by the owners of some property I was shooting an old barn and outbuildings on. I suppose they didn't mind too much. They watched me for awhile as the pulled down their road, but never stopped.

*the lens doesn't show it all ;o)
