The Rise of the Machines and the Shadow of Death!

[Rob MacKillop]

What a title! I do have a sense of humour. Two from this morning's dander around the village.




The shadow is of the cemetery gate behind me...



One the other side of the gate is a pen of chickens and a noisy rooster.

Well it was enough to drag me out of my torpor!

Sorry to have been silent for so long: I'll be back properly soon.

I do like the wild tangle below the bridge. It is very suggestive that the world of machines is the dominant element.

I like the shadow image as well. It just needs a menacing figure - Oh hang on, you were taking the picture!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good back to sleep, old man!

Nice to see you around, Pete!

 

[Ralph Turner]

Nice, particularly the first one. I do like images where man's 'linearity' meets with Nature's apparent chaos, the contrast of forms.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yup, that’s what it’s about. It’s the south end of the Forth Bridge.

@Rob MacKillop A pleb gate and the shadow of an aristocrat gate. This must be a reference to the Gategate scandal.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I wish I could afford the house that owns that pleb gate!

 

[Gary R. Smith]

If only my neighborhood was so photogenic...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh well, Gary. But you’ve made the best of it. Interesting colours!

 

[Brian Moore]

The Shadow of Death makes me think of the film we watched last night: The Zone of Interest.

It is photogenic in those colors, Gary. It's quite fascinating to me, actually. Infrared?

 

[Gary R. Smith]

Interesting colours!

InfraRed.

I haven't see it yet, but I know the plot and I have heard a lot of appreciations by those who watched it. It's in my watching waiting list.

It's a powerful film, Gianluca.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I’ve been thinking about watching it too, but I can get very affected by emotionally violent films, so might give it a miss.

It's not a violent film, from what others told me. Emotional it is.

 

[Brian Moore]

Emotional it is.

It is indeed.

InfraRed.

Do you have an IR-converted camera?
