This one almost made me dizzy to look at. As if I were hanging in a topsy turvey device overhead. I needed to turn my head to one side to right the image.
dan - i'm not at all good with heights but there were so many opportunities to reexperience a view that i had to take them. this one would make a good jigsaw puzzle i think! steven
The rooftops you painted here are more like Chagall dreams to me ,are not of Paris and there is no Sunday fog but.....
" Oh my dead! defend the Paris rooftops in the Sunday fog The rooftops that protected my dead. Let me leave my dangerously safe tower and walk down to the street with my brothers who have blue eyes and rough hands!"
Léopold Sédar Senghor from Vol. 31 No. 2 translated, from the French, by Zack Rogow Not the most perfect words for this beautiful image of yours but I like it. Have a nice day ! :O)
I love the colours and design, it took me a while to realize that they were things housing things and i wondered "why doesn't everything tip out?" This must be where spider man lives.
aleks - well i think rooftops can be anywhere anytime anyplace. fog or no fog!!! i saw these rooftops through fog one morning but the image didn't hold together. have a peaceful dutch day! steven
Dizzying! So you're in town....

ReplyDeleteThe city does play with our mind Steven.
ReplyDeleteSometimes for good.
Other times, try as we might, the pieces just don't go together.
To my eye, an urban landscape where each piece stands alone.
