Tiny Park City
I found a site the other day which allows you to “tilt-shift” any photo. For those of you unfamiliar with tilt-shifting, it’s a photo manipulation technique which basically blurs the foreground and background of your photo and results in a “miniaturization” effect. It only really works on landscape type photos, but the effect is pretty nifty. For example, the picture below was taken from the the ski lift at Park City earlier this summer:
You can see the original picture here for comparison. And if you’d like to try this out on your own photos, you can visit the tiltshiftmaker here. Or if you’d just like to view all the crazy pictures other people have made, you can check out the flickr group here (beware that some of the pictures in that gallery didn’t work out so well).

Okay, that is super cool. I’m going to have to attempt it and see if I can make any of my pictures look that neat. It totally reminds me of something you would’ve seen on Mr. Roger’s neighborhood. Wait! I think that IS Mr. Roger’s neighborhood!!
