A quiet day today and just one photo for you. For my silent Sunday post, I wanted to show you a view of Melbourne that I really like.
Silent Sunday – A view of Melbourne
This photo was taken almost two years ago, but it is one that I have always liked. It is also one that should have been the beginning of some new work, but it never happened. Well, so far it hasn’t. I do intend to do more like this.
I hope you have a good Sunday.
Great shot Leanne … π
Thank you Julie.
Leanne, any particular painting artist, who inspired you for your amazing image? Just curious
Yes, probably Jeffrey Smart, Edward Hopper and Rick Amor would be the three I immediately think of.
Thank you Leanne for your reply, the first and last I am not familiar with, but will check it out. Good luck with your great work.
You’re welcome Cornelia. Thank you.
In you post about The Docklands, you wrote, “It is something I try to achieve with my images, making them seem like they arenβt real.” You achieved this, and I mean this as a high compliment. It is obviously “real” but at an altered state, something beyond. It has a bit of “virtual reality” to it. I take photographs in the virtual world of Second Life, and honestly, this image reminds me of the “real fantasy” one can find there. I love this shot.
Thank you, it is good to see that others see it as well. That is interesting what you have said about the virtual world.
Looks a bit ghost-towny!
Good, I like that description, thank you colonialist.
Love it.
Wonderful, thank you Margaret.
Almost seedy.
Yeah, I can see that.
Thanks Jonathan.
A series in this style is a great idea.
Thank you Patti, I really think I need to work on it.
A Hopper? I asked myself. Definitely would like to see the series that this will be part of.
I understand what you mean, thank you, and yes, I do need to work on the series.
Stunning. Affects me in a breathless way.
What a great reaction Shirley, I like that, thank you.
This is one of my favourites, Leanne.
That’s great to hear Don, thank you.
Very peaceful.
Thank you Joseph.
