CITY ABSTRACT

Rate if you must, comment if you will........

This one hurts my neck! :) I like it, though - interesting mix of texture and lines. Still can't quite figure it out.

turn counter clockwise and that's how it was taken. It is a paved bank leading up to the underside of a bridge, now under reconstruction. When it came off my camera like this, I liked the horizontal composition, and the way the ground becomes a wall...

Such a wonder, your mind, guess that is one of the attractions, and hopes of being bored=ZERO... !

 

Fun stuff, and sorry about your neck Kim !

The lines and texture on this are amazing. Also, and I never saw this before, as you scroll up and down the image seems to move as if it is animated. One more thing, the use of light is also way above average. I would say this image cannot be improved.

Thanks, and you are right about it looking animated...how strange!

 

Roger...glad to know I haven't bored you yet!

 

 

90 degrees - thats hot! (We measure in Celsius) REgards

RE....Thank you for your cool observation!

Your rotation and the tones in this is appealing to me.

These forms work well together, the vertical lines between the bricks mimic the vertical ones in the beam. The bricks taking more space then the beams lead my eye to the wall. You have made a wonderful architectural abstract! - Merni

 

very interesting, the light on the stones being my favourite detail here.Congrats for your painting on the bio, puts you to another century or let's say makes you timeless ;-)

Wow! that is a nice stone revetment there! Beautiful work whoever did that. Plate girders with web stiffeners, rivetted, so probably pre-war. Transverse bracing for added torsional strength. Ow, my neck. :-) I like the idea but as a bridge addict I would be happy with it the right way up. I like the light on the stones also the blue and brown tones heading off towards monochrome.

Colin...I should have figured you'd find this! Thanks for your expert opinion on the engineering aspects!

 

Andrea...the light was slightly enhanced through PS, as well as the texture of the stones.

 

Merni...thank you for your understanding of my intent!

Hi Linda. Isolating archetectural/structural elements with the intent to compose them into a visually stimulating abstract is a skill that I seem to lack. On the other hand, it would appear that you do not. I have another friend who also excels at this (curiously, he appears next to you in my Interesting People list). If you like, you can see some of his work here and also here. Regards.

My first thought was - Why not?

An interesting work, the rotation makes it abstract in my mind. Well done.
