Found from the vaults. Picture taken in 2016. Great deal of photography is about exclusion. It is a magic of leaving things out from the picture, things the person who views the image does not necessary know about. If you haven't ever visited Tampere Finland, and seen this building, you can not know what is around this view. You can't know how tall the building is, if it continues far to the left or right, or what is below. But you can use your imagination! So, the picture is like a fictional book. You can complete the story with everything you have experienced before. Fill in the empty spaces not told. Build the rest with your dreams and nightmares. See the chimneys that reach the sky. Smell the smoke and hear the sounds of machines. ♫ Watching the Foundry from FREE Spunkshine debris by Spunkshine

My mother makes wonderful paper snow flakes. Unfortunately she is losing her memory because of Alzheimer's disease.

Happy Fence Friday peeps! =)

Idea inspired by (stolen from) LutzP: www.ipernity.com/doc/lutzp/41025950 Setting inspired by Philippe Halsman: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Halsman This is also my contribution for The Sunday Challenge "Something which grows, and using on-camera-effects only". On Panasonic Lumix TZ60 camera there is an on camera panorama stitch software, which I used here. Moreover, one can use artistic on camera software effects. Here I used "expressive" effect, which enhances the colours. The idea is to emphasize "organic nature" of the literature and science. Therefore I turned the camera also horizontally, while moving the camera during the exposures taken for the vertical panorama image. And rich colours because the literature and science are colourful! Especially scientific literature is like a slow motion growth of human communication and knowledge. Unfortunately that scientific growth can turn out to be even too slow, and we fail to do the critical change: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth

Happy Fence Friday folks =)
