Sepia tones for modern days

Haere mai  
The challenge at Three Muses this week is to produce something in Sepia.  I did do a collage but I didn't care for it much so went looking for another subject.  Without further ado, I give you my entry to this weeks challenge...  The view from the top of the Paekakariki Hill, New Zealand.

Look out at the top of the Paekakariki Hill outside Wellington

I have lived most of my life in New Zealand and whilst I was looking through photo's it occurred to me that many photo's of NZ could easily look to be legitimately taken in sepia! (Sorry to my Kiwi friends :)  This is a photo that I took from the top of the hill on 27th December 2008.  Captain Slow and I had just spent Christmas with his parents at Eketahuna and we drove over for a day trip to Wellington.

On route, somewhere north of Taihape (famous for it's giant gumboot!), I took this photo too.

I actually did do some photoshop things to them.  Converted to Black and white, added noise, adjusted levels and even my arch nemesis - added text!

Thanks for looking and Haere ra.
