With a good forecast for the weekend, I hope to do just that. I was browsing through my gazillion photos looking for some fall pictures but alas, I have none! How could that be? Amazing! But I hope to remedy that this weekend.
What I did come across was the photo below. Something about it felt like fall although the date proved to be taken in the summer of '07 with my little point-and-shoot. All before my DSLR and all before setting up a good filing system for my photos (which still needs work!). I think this was along the Amstel River in Amsterdam or Belgium or Italy.
Ugh! See what I mean! I had pulled the photo out and put it in a folder of its own ~who knows when~ without labeling it. Folder name "Untitled"! Now who does that??
Oh well ... I still like the photo and messed around editing it. It feels peaceful and serene. And that is a good thing!
I just couldn't decide which one I liked better.
How about you?
Which path would you rather walk?

I like the top one.
It always great to find nice old photos, isn't is? :) the second one is visually stronger but the first one is dreamy and has more depth so I would go with the first one.
top one, yup!
Yep, the top one for me, too. What a beautiful place to walk and take pictures! Hope you have a great weekend, Reena! Enjoy!

I like the top one. I think it's good to review photos taken previously, sometimes you find some surprised you forgot about, this one's a gem!
Yes for me, it's definitely the first path.
Well, the cloud reflections show up better in the second one, but I think I prefer the softer colors in the first. Your colors are all spot on!!! Since we don't know, I am saying that this is Amsterdam, just 'cause I want it to be!!
Hmmmmm thats a tough one, but I think I pick number one.
nice walk, for sure... i like them both, actually!
Oh so pretty we'll label them 'gorgeous'!! I'd love to walk on either path.. I have a dear friend in The Netherlands...
Happy Weekend,
Madi and Mom
Don't make me choose, lol! They're both beautiful. I really like the water reflection in the 2nd one, but the first looks so serene. Hope you have a great weekend!
I really like them both, but I want to be on that path right now...
Definitely the top one. Would love to see it before you altered it which I'll bet was beautiful too. Happy Friday Reena!
What a beautiful place. They both look so pretty, but I would go with the first one...I like the softness.
I too have a bad habit of not labeling photos. Working on that.
As far as those beautiful photos of yours, it's like choosing between milk chocolate and white chocolate. Both are amazing.
Is the last one HDR, or whatever it's called? I like the fantasy-like look of it. (I still don't have a good filing system, so have photos all over the place under titles that don't even fit!)
I don't think this is in Amsterdam, the river Amstel is a wide river and has wide banks with grass and not so much trees. I shouldn't edit the photo at all, I like the pure as it is.
Can't decide - I really like them both!
I love them both! I would love to be there right this minute.
what a spectacular, reena!
love these.
have a great weekend!
betty
can't decide, love them both as well.
i chose to walk the second one, no reason, just because.
I like the top one. I just prefer photos that are realistic.
Reena..I like first one better...looks so soft and serene...
I'm having a hard time deciding as well. I like the softness of the first but love the slightly stronger colors in the second.
Both are magical!!
It does look fall like. Tough to choose but if I had to go with one it would probably be the first one.
Love those trees arching down to the beautiful reflections in the water! Such a gorgeous place! I think I love the gentle colour tones of the first photo best!
I would walk either....since a choice is asked for, I guess the first one a bit more than the 2nd. Categorizing images is trying at best. I can only do it by date. The context of the pics has to remind me where I was. No matter the local, this is really beautiful.
The first one, by all means.
Were you on a river cruise, by chance?? I've always wanted to do one of those.
I guess I like the first one best..and what wonderfully peaceful color-filled scenes!
Looks like I am with the majority on this one. I like the softness to it.
I really love the first one. Wouldn't mind walking that path at all.
What a beautiful place! I prefer the first edit - wonderful work!
They are both beautiful, Reena. Glad you found it and shared. :)
They are both beautiful, Reena. Glad you found it and shared. :)
These are both great! You have a wonderful eye and it shows in your images.
I prefer the top one. The lower one looks a little unreal to me. Such a beautiful photo, too. It's amazing what you can do with a point and shoot. And hey, a camera phone, for that matter!
Old photos are often treasures. I like the top one best.
The one you played with, for sure!
Very beautiful Reena. I'll choose the first path, so inviting.
I never know which path to follow (Ha), but I'm swayed by my peers; I'll go with the top.
I'm glad you found this photo! I like the first one best - it's absolutely gorgeous!
i love them both!! making decisions is strongest quality ;)
new hope and lambertville were beautiful today, we also visited peddlers village which had some really fun halloween decorations!!
have a happy weekend!!
*making decisions is "not my" strongest quality....neither is proof reading!!
The second is dramatic, but the first one makes me want to be there.
Both are fabalous, but like the first one best. Wow. Sort of takes your breath away.
I was glad to know that your files of photos are a long process, because this is the same case for me. They always get messed up. I don't deal with them, and they collect.
I love them both Reena! I think the first one just beats the second in my book!
You should see my filing but then again I don't think you would, lol!
Have a great weekend!!
I could easily walk on both paths, but I still like the first one best :-) Beautiful reflections!
I'd turn on my heel and get away as fast as possible: those noxious green/blue fumes would be a warning signal of danger to me.
You DID ask :-)
I'll take the 2nd path, thanks. Gorgeous - either way!
Oh, what a fabulous photo, perfection! Sadly, the second one wouldn't load for me, but I'm more than content with the one I see. And I am AWFUL at labelling my pictures, rest assured you are far from alone.
I think I like the second one best. I think I would like to be wearing a pretty summer dress and strolling along the path. Beautiful!

I'll go the first path - thanks for the invitation. And I have a few too many untitled folders on my desktop!
Looking thru old photos us like Christmas. There is always a lovely surprise waiting. Both images are lovely
If I should walk that path it shoudl be like walking in a fairytale. :)
the first one for me.
although both are unreal, dreamlike, magical.
Until you pointed it out, I didn't even see the path in either one. My eyes always travel to the left. With this shot, they stayed there with the branches overhanging that gorgeous reflective water.
I have very few pictures of fall too. Mostly because the the colors come and go so quickly & up here, the leaves get forced off the trees during October storms.
BTW, I don't label anything 'untitled' but have quite a few folders labeled 'pictures.' D'oh!
I love them both Reena - for me I'll take the top path on the way down and the bottom path on the way back - just perfect!
Have a wonderful week-end. xx
It's frustrating to hunt through your photos and realize you've come along way from how you catalogued photos in the "old days."
I would walk either one of those in a heartbeat. Very nice.
Reena, Stunning photo--I would love to walk that path!!! I think I like the first one best--just a little softer and quieter looking. Have a lovely Sunday. Mickie :)
I still keep all of my photos organized by day...I just change the name of the day folder to include a little of the subject. Since my photos are basically my diary it works for me even though there are a gazillion folders!
I prefer the first too...what a beautiful place!
WOWZA!
I like them both but I would choose to walk the top one.
Oh, this is so beautiful! I want to be there right now.
Both look like paintings. I usually prefer photos without a lot of editing, but I have to admit, your edited version is outstanding. I didn't notice the people in the first shot, but they pop in the second. The edited is my favorite.
Oh, both are awesome in their own ways! And, well, Europe will do :) does it really matter where exactly it is when it is so beautiful?
these photos have a beautiful, dreamy quality to them. i can't decide which one i like better.
I'd take them both
on different days:)
thanks for this
beautiful share,
Jen
Something fine going on here... between Weekend Reflections, and World Bird Wednesday... two wonderful sites to participate in. Love your herons !
I like the first one best, I don't know where it is but it is beautiful.
I prefer a natural path but any way you present it is beautiful.
But it does look like fall if you focus on the path. Which path to follow? Hmm. The one less traveled my dear. Wonderful! Cheers reena!!
P. S. Last week I could not email, blog, or check blogs internet was down. Did you experience the same thing?
This morning I'll take the first path, but tomorrow I might feel like the second. Both beautiful, wherever they lead!
Wow, so dreamlike. I would walk the first one:) Barefoot mama
