Bound together. I wanted to stand on my head to read the writing. Lovely textures and light hitting the metal.

Interesting study in textures and subtle variations of color. The various cylindrical volumes and the thin, straight band cause what you often refer to as tension. This isn't a quiet picture, but the forces that are moving are slow and steady.

Thanks, Bob. I restrained the colour somewhat. The original colours were a bit more saturated, which may have been a function of the light they were shot in. But I wanted to brighten it up, and the strong colours seemed unrealistic, then.

A fascinating insight into western society - oddly, because it's quite common to see concrete and steel. How would stone age man react if he returned for an outing? With envy, or horror?

I suppose people from the stone age would see the concrete as stone, although I suppose they would be surprised by the perfect cylinders. I suspect the people at Skara Brae would have envied anyone who used it -- their stone dressers required the assembly of many suitable stones (sort of stone age Ikea).

As for the metal, I don't know if they'd see it as a useful building material or as some sort of magic. Thanks for raising this interesting question.

I just like it for the super details and textures and I like the asymmetrical placement of the metal bands.

It does annoy me that the bottom band is upside down...............and I suspect you may have rotated the photo deliberately :-))

Thanks, Keith. It hasn't been rotated, though I must admit I'm not above doing that.

Yes, indeed, Anna. There's a similar photo in my Two Solitudes album. Well, it's the other half of the album.

This is a beauty! (What? Made in U.S.A.?)

Yeah, don't believe Trump when he complains about NAFTA (which is its name, not PUPUSA or whatever that monstrosity was that he came up with). NAFTA has been pretty much a push for us; trade hasn't changed much. You and the Mexicans are making hay, though, although the new NAFTA may be making things worse for your auto industry.

I don't know. Honestly, I can't follow every chaotic story. I would go crazy trying!
