St Peter’s Quarry

My sister has been talking about St Peter’s Village for some time now, and with the kids just starting vacation, I was looking for something quick and easy to do.

After taking a scenicĀ 30 minute drive, we parked and walked up the small little hill to the quarry, and from there I took these quick images.

In image processing, I went with a higher saturation and vibrancy then normal, to emphasize the colors from the paints and chalk that have dripped down over the rocksĀ from the graffiti art, but the greens of the trees became to “hot”.

I took the color image and converted into a Black and White layer, and from there I cut a mask to enhance the colors of the rocks.

Certainly not the image I had in mind when I stood there, but I kind of like it.

What do you think?
