Name That Album

From time to time I like to play around with images that might serve as band pictures or album art, particularly when my friends are cooperative, which they, very kindly, often are. This shot was taken on a trip to Chicago this past weekend when we were sitting by Lake Michigan. I began manipulating this image by using the “Direct Positive” preset in Adobe Lightroom, which creates vivid colors and high contrast, and then went from there.

I think that the style of this picture could work for either a Sigur Ros or Innocence Mission album. However, if you want to play along at home, feel free to come up with an album and/or fictional band name to accompany the image and include it in a comment.
