Evening Blacktop

Posted on April 7, 2011 by spilledinkguy

It’s been a while since my last Holga post, so I decided to rock another.

AND, dear readers, it’s time for an experiment… let’s see what happens to my stats if when I throw a random ‘twilight’ tag into this post. I mean, technically, it was ‘twilighty’ when I took this photo; I just didn’t happen to be attacked by any tween-aged vampires. I don’t think. Although… I’m fairly certain I used to have a reflection…

With the Twilight reference sure to get a thousand hits!

Love the blue light in this photo – I went back to look at the previous Holga pic too. Both lovely.

PS: Is that a werewolf in the bushes?

  Hahaha… it might happen… of course I’ll regret it when I’ve got a mob of disappointed vampire fans chasing me down this road!
  
  Thank you so much, Dishy… these were both shot on the same night/roll… I thought they turned out okay…
  
  Maybe it’s Michael J Fox…

You saw no vampires because they had just been beamed up by aliens via the blue light…duh… 😉

Awesome image!

  TOTALLY! How could that have slipped my mind?! Perhaps those pesky aliens erased my memory of said ‘incident’! 😉
  
  Thank you very much, M.P.!

Oooo I love the moonbeam! It is sort of ghostly isn’t it? This was the prettiest night and a good summer/anniversary memory at Johnsons Shut-Ins state park.

  The weather was just about perfect (now if only it would keep from raining on our day off…)

God, you’re such a stats whore.

Excuse me, I need to go re-tag all of my posts similarly. Aaaaaaaand . . . done.

Really, though, this looks like an alien landing to me.

Should have referenced aliens or 2001 Space Odyssey. Looks other worldly.

Awesome ‘Lynchian’ photo Robert…love it.

And so you know, searches also include comment sections, not just tags. Which is why I am including the following: Miley Cyrus and Snooki and Charlie Sheen. Just trying to help out. 😉

Sorry, I’ve been amiss the last few days. This image makes me think of the movie “Mulholland Drive”. Have you seen it?

  Not at all, J.G.!
  I have not seen that movie (although it sounds familiar for some reason)… now I’m very curious about it, though…

    It’s a David Lynch (*Lynchian*) movie, So Jillsy and I are tracking the same vibe.

Really looks like an alien beam up (or down) to me.

Two vampire/Dracula pictures in a row. I do believe you may be trying to tell us something.

A tag (actually I think it is a pic) that is bringing me hundreds of hits a day is “cute little kittens”

I want my blog to be known for crappy satire but no! It’s known for little ugly fuzz balls! 😦

  Hahaha… I have a theory that kittens secretly rule the world. Well… maybe not the WORLD, but they seem to do quite well for themselves in the blogosphere!
  
  Thank you very much for stopping by, Mel! I really appreciate it! 🙂

I swear this looks familiar, but not in reality. It looks dreamlike. Very cool shot. Conveys and emotion too. A kind of lonely freedom.

  Thank you so much for stopping by, W.D. – and for the very kind words as well!
  I’m not really sure how this worked out… I figure if I take enough photos every now and then I’m bound to get a bit lucky, though…

  Hahaha… it’s a good thing I didn’t notice when I was taking this photo… otherwise there would be even more camera-shake (caused by me running away)!
