As always, there isn’t a lot to write about this image – so I’ll post it more or less without comment and let you figure it out!

As with the previous image in this series, I don’t think there is a lot to say about it. (Or, as I wrote on the other one, there is a lot that could be said, but I’ll refrain.)

There is not a lot to say about this photograph – or perhaps I should say that while there is a lot I could say, I think it is better to simply present it for what it is or appears to be.

“Imaginary Landscapes” are images most often derived from photographs of natural scenes and objects, but modified in ways that are not intended to be realistic.

While working on this photograph, I was experimenting with some techniques for post processing images, particularly to control the visibility of features at the very light and very dark ends of the luminosity scale. One thing led to the next, and soon I had darkened the sky, enhanced the dynamic range in the clouds, and tried a monochrome interpretation of the scene. Then I got the idea to play around a bit with the sky and clouds and before long things had progressed to a point that was well beyond believable.
