Deep Art Effects | Android App - Under the Bridge

Sometimes it's fun to play with different kind of photo apps. Few days ago I accidentally found app called Deep Art Effect. The app has lot of different kind of effects how you can edit the photos and most of the effects are quite wild one.

First the original photo, which I took using HDR mode in my mobile phone under the old Tornio bridge.

This is the same photo after using one of the filters. It looks like painting.

Looks quite cool. This is only one of the many this kind of apps. Sometimes the apps may surprise.

Photo Collage | Best Island in the World - Palawan in Philippines

Palawan, Philippines. I lived in Manila about fours years in Philippines. I have also traveled quite a lot inside the country. Philippines has lot of beautiful islands and beaches around the country. One of those places is Palawan, which has been chosen the best island in the world by the foreign travelers.

I have visited in Palawan many, many times and been there something 9 months. I made a photo collage, where you can see why Palawan is so unique and popular holiday destination.

Palawan is truly amazing place. Enjoy!

Hopefully you like it!
