The Kansas landscape is barren and other-worldly appearing in the wintertime, and it is crispy-toast dry with the continuing drought and freaky, unseasonably warm weather. No appreciable snow as of yet half way through winter. Perhaps February will be a reverse with normal winter weather? Long, long ago in ancient Earth time, it is stated that rocks and boulders moved from upper North America to the area that which is Kansas during the ice age. These hard rocks and boulders are sedimentary like with bands of color, and they range in hues from light pink to deep purple. With this photo, I wasn’t interested in the color version preferring the black and white. However I wanted some of the boulders to show their true colors. Therefore, I merged/layered color and BW versions, brought back the rock colors in the foreground and a streak on the fencepost, and then slid the slider over two percent to filter a hint of color into the overall BW. Interesting contrasts, don’t you think?
