Now closed, this industrial silo complex impresses with a series of contrasting lines.
Mike's Look at Life
A personal blog communicating issues around life including horrific loss and overwhelming joy, and many things in between.
Intriguing photo. And I love the header, Mike.
Thanks Harley girl.
Oh I like this. It looks like a lot of steel and wood too, contrasting materials. And a lot of wood where steel should be, if you ask me. Going to be that high I don’t want my platform to be rickety! There’s also a one-liner in here about lines but I’ll be damned if I can think of it…
Rickety was once how things were built. Rickety Rick got rickets.
Great shot Mike, the contrasting lines are absolutely hypnotizing! The background clouds add a touch of softness to an otherwise sharp image. Nice!!
Thanks Alex. Will be posting a very short memoir tomorrow.
Anything in B&W is good! I like these sorts of structures, imagine all the hard days work put in there by countless people over the years. If only the complex could talk…
You are right about B&W as well as the work that must have gone on, day in and day out. Blood, sweat, and paychecks.
Your composition of this photo has my eye transfixed and wandering from each angle to each intrusive space with the clouds hinting at the way of all things. It’s pure poetry!
Your comment has a poetic ring to it as well. I like this photo for the same reasons and the clouds kind of finish it for me. Thanks Merrill.
I loved the contrast in this B&W photograph… Thank you dear Mike, love, nia
Thanks Nia.
Got here via Ivon’s blog reccomendation-look forward to following you!
Thanks Sara. I would be ok if you stalked me, so welcome and thank you.
Very cool. Great composition.
Thank you very much Inga.
This is a great subject for black and white! Very nice job Mike!
Mucho gracias amigo.
Great composition. I love the straight lines and angles, but am really intrigued by the concentric curves illusions created by the lines. It’s like the weird things that happen with stripes and plaids on television.
I swear to you that is exactly the comparison I was drawing in my mind and I am guessing that digital sensors behave in a similar fashion to whatever a tv image does to create that effect. Good call Carissa and good eye!
