-------------------------
My images about the future are normally optimistic. This one has perhaps a mixed feeling, depending on your interpretation.
The titles comes from a poem by Lewis Carrol. It seemed appropriate.
This was, as always, rendered in Vue.
I like to use sand in my images. Here are some where sand takes an important part of the composition:
EDIT: wow, a DD! Thanks a lot to UJz for suggesting it and MoonBeam13 for featuring it. This is my 9th DD.
EDIT: please visit dandylion0505 and read his poems. If you follow my images, you'll understand why. Amazing...

I saw this and the part in Long Night of Solace with just string section playing started playing in my head.
(long night of solace is from the Halo Reach soundtrack.)

I get a strong sense of calm viewing this image. The blue is cool but not cold, the lighter colors are warm but not hot. The towers opposite the moon make a nice pair of main features. The reflection in the foreground anchors the towers firmly in the landscape. The figure in the foreground gives a grand sense of scale.

Reminds me of my favourite childhood movie of all time... "The Never Ending Story".
The building in question is similar to this one, and is called "The Ivory Tower".

I'm glad it reminds you of something you like so much. I saw the movie at the time but I didn't remember the tower anymore so I googled it now. I see what you mean. Not the same shapes, of course, but a similar "feeling".

I also admire people like you and contless others who can just create the first image that pops into their minds, like a Painter drawn to Canvas.
I wouldn't like the faintist idea on what to create.
As we're on the subject, what's your favourite childhood movie of all time?

Well, what I wrote before was my memory of the time. I may have been unfair, but at least I don't remember any feature movie that really interested me back then.

Well, my childhood was long before yours. I was born in 1964 and in the 60s and 70s, when I had my childhood, children were not much in the target of movie producers and movie theaters. But I did enjoy watching two TV shows of the time: Star Trek (the original series) and Space 1999. Life was very different from now, back in the 70s...
