Edinburgh Memory (Digital Woodcut)

Mel's conference in Glasgow seems to have brought images of Scotland to mind.  I was looking through some photos of my trips, and found a photo of Edinburgh, which is one of my very favorite cities.  The original photo was too dark and the focus was too soft, but I loved the view of the skyline of the buildings near the castle.  So I cropped part of the image, enlarged it, and then opened it in Painter.  I adjusted the brightness and contrast, then created a digital woodcut.  I also used some color overlay on the sky. So here it is, a souvenir of Edinburgh, travel remembered and travel imagined.
