The Dreamscape...-Versus-
The Realscape...
The top photo was taken from a moving vehicle off of I-5 coming into Portland, OR. The bottom photo was from an excursion to the WSU Vancouver campus during one of the snow days. Both were taken before Christmas in December 2008.
In this case, I'd have to say I like my "dreamscape" better than the more realistic "realscape." Sometimes I get tired of the same 'ole same 'ole. It revives me to create something different.
