Cabin Shingles

Ebbetts Pass in the high Sierra Nevadas gets many feet of snow every year. Not too far from the top of the pass is a 100-year-old cabin used by generations of the same family. These shingles on the side of the cabin have endured this weather for all these years.

I enhanced the original wooden shingles, adding color with the Topaz plugin, dialing down the details to create this semi-abstract look. It gives the effect of broad playful brush strokes.
