This image was originally taken in October 2004 in Shiremoor, the village where I live. It was quite a remarkable sky; I'm not sure why I didn't venture further into the fields to catch some other shots. It's definitely grain-tastic, but in this image I'm not so bothered by it, as it adds to the subliminal drone aspect; no peace and all. This feature of the image influenced my writing of Pressure Mining, which for some time was associated with this piece.

Aah, so here's that pink thing
(I saw the thumb in the unseen-artist chat)

I like it a lot ^^ the colours, but the concept and composition too, and frame, I like black frames when they connect with black in the photo. ( )

Impressive description. Kudos!

Heh, thankyou for that. Yeah, I like it when borders blend in with parts of the image too. It makes the whole thing seem complete, instead of being made of up separate elements.

I love the colors in the photograph. They make me really happy, but at the same time, it makes me wonder what it'd be like to be electricity.

Everyone else pretty much said why I like it. Love the colour and the contrast.
The directions of the paralelle lines makes it interesting as well.
You have such awesome work!
