The Numbers Game – 260112

Looking for the number 229 in my archive

This weekly challenge has been very frustrating.

For some reason, that I wish I could figure out, my search using File Explorer does not turn up all the images that contain the wanted number. Often it finds nothing.

Today I looked for 229 in response to the challenge by Judy Dykstra-Brown #107.

Today it found six. A little bit later when I tried again it found seven. As they typically are too large to upload to my blog I copied them, put them in a folder and resized them. Then I got this upload error:

Inspite of the error messages the images did in fact upload. Just what is going on?

Here they are:

One of the “finds” was that bright house with the tree. I went back to the archive to try and figure out the reason for that poor composition. I found a series of photos scanning that scene. Clearly, I must have had in mind making them into a composite. Yet nowhere could I find such an image. So, I made one today using “ICE”, the Microsoft Image Composite Editor, which I can call up from the menu bar in Photo Gallery.

A bit of photo editing and this is a pleasant pano-photo:

On that pleasant fall day I also did the same with another building in that park.

Again the originals where all that I found in my gallery. Why did I not do the panoramas?

Here is the other one, processed today.

That too became a nice panoramic view.

Amazing what hides in the past. Thank you Judy!
