Something for the Weekend — Part 229 — Hippity Hop!

[jane-e]

Thank you to Dave for allowing me a turn to share an image this "weekend" and to all who took part in our previous miner's safety lamp challenge. There were some great ideas and images.

This weekend we have a an image of Rabbit Ears Peak near Steamboat, Colorado. The 5.5-mile roundtrip trail is considered a moderately challenging route and is beautiful in good weather.

What can you do with it?

The “rules”:

• Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
• Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
• Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
• There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!
• The starter image is made available for you to use in this forum challenge only.

To download the starter image, hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

 

When posting back your image — please use the blue reply button in this first post and use the 'Insert Photos' icon at the top of the reply box. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry, then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun!

Attributed to George Mallory and is still a good reason to hike today.

Hey!  This thread was started by Jane.  So this guy is mandatory. 

He'll be getting a sore throat if he keeps that up much longer.

lol

[davescm]

Haha - excellent connection Trevor ! I like the animation too!

Dave

[Trevor.Dennis]

Not my animation Dave.  I add Transparent Background when searching for GIFs, or failing that, white background.  If not too many frames, then it only takes a moment to remove the backgrounds, or use Blend If

[jane-e]

Funny!

Haha!

Welcome back to SFTW Miroslava. I recognise the scene, my own need to take kit to places rings true. Was it AI as there appears to be an odd limb?

Dave

[AlanGilbertson]

Geographically impossible. But fun.

 

[DeanUtian]

Definitely looks like a fun place to visit.

[davescm]

I like it. It looks like some ancient Polynesian site come back into use 🙂

Dave

[EuanWilliamson]

It's a Disney ride I think 😉

[AlanGilbertson]

Yep. You and @davescm nailed it. A Disney version of a Polynesian site is just about exactly what I had in mind! 😋 That explains the weird mix of vegetation and the not-quite-the-right-color water emanating from a really odd-looking bit of rock.

Derek,

It reminds me of this, at a more serious scale,

Yikes!!!   Of all the tunes to be reminded of and have stuck in our heads for the rest of today, they don't come any more dire than that.   I double dare you to click on this link. 

[fbeaume]

But such a great concept for an theme park.

[DeanUtian]

Looks like ordinary bunch of tourists until you look a little closer 🙂

[War Unicorn]

And you guys say I make scary things...

lol

[davescm]

Haha - I thought it was just tourists who had cheated and taken the bus. But if that is what the bus journey does to you, I'm not getting on. 🙂

It's good that they are fenced in!

Some whacked out anatomy there!

Moderately challenging route they said, beautiful in good weather they said ...
