"Nantucket ... is an island about 30 miles (50 km) by ferry south from Cape Cod, in the American state of Massachusetts.... As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,172.... Nantucket is a tourist destination and summer colony. Due to tourists and seasonal residents, the population of the island increases to at least 50,000 during the summer months. The National Park Service cites Nantucket, designated a National Historic Landmark District in 1966, as being the 'finest surviving architectural and environmental example of a late 18th- and early 19th-century New England seaport town'." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nantucket,_Massachusetts AP1000446

The Ipernity Group, "The Sunday Challenge" has designated the use of texture as this week's challenge. I had never used textures or the layers features in Photoshop Elements, so for me, it was a real challenge. Thanks to Peter for his help in figuring out how to blend layers. Thanks to Parée for being the creator of the texture, "Crystal Mountains," which can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/pareeerica/5230064131/in/pool-textures_only . Summer 2014/Texture.15
