 Today was kind of a stressful day. Tonight would be a good night for some nice relaxing beverage, like whiskey. Although, I am not much of a drinker so I will just look at this and try to relax. A couple glasses of wine and I am feeling good...lol I can't imagine what whiskey would do to me.

This is not actually whiskey in the cup. The whiskey was gone but the bottle was kept because it is kind of cool. I watered down some cheap pop and then stirred the heck out of it to get rid of the oxygen in the pop. Ken helped me out by putting some salt in to speed up the process. I added the lipstick for a little more effect but not sure it worked so well. Oh well!

HA HA...Your comments gave me a chuckle...("I am not much of a drinker, so I will just look at this and try to relax.") Hope it worked! Nicely set up with great clarity in the image. Could be an ad.

Ahh, 'Pop', do you know how long it took this Michigander to learn to say 'soda'? Just a tad brighter for my tastes, but sure, I'll try some.

Fun photo! Looks like the end of the night. The masonry in back makes for a very atmospheric setting. The selective desat works well here.
