 Inspired by a recent traffic event in the Caldecott Tunnel between Oakland and Orinda. Taken while driving westbound through the north bore -- there are actually three tunnels in the complex, with a fourth on the way.

Interesting image, but I think I agree with SandyP. It's fun to experiment with different effects though.

Okay, had to try it, am glad I did, thanks Louis! :)

It really is such a dramatic difference. Same image but two totally different feelings from them. Nice experimentation!

What an interesting shot! I like the colors, but I think my favorite version is the darker colored sepia. What a great subject tho!

It's a cool abstract shot but I like it better before you put the wild curve on it, it's just more intriguing as my mind associates it with water then light then gives up in confusion and enjoys it.
