Ominous Night
July 9th, 2008I should probably just attribute this shot to reading too much Edgar Allan Poe or too many Hitchcock anthologies as a kid. Or maybe too many Anne Rice vampire books. I should have put some bats coming off the building. Or maybe just Meat Loaf as a bat.
Bat Loaf? o

ooh, nice colours (looks like a nice mix of dark teal and blue on my monitor)
I had nightmares for years after reading the Edgar Allen Poe book in my children’s classics collection. I was 7 or 8 when I read the one about the beating heart under the floor (dead bodies under the floor, in a children’s classics set!!) and I still refuse to read it again at the age of 29. It may mentally scar me for another few years :-s
LOL

Love this photo, but I will have “Bat Out of Hell” running through my head on a continuous loop all day now. So, thanks for that.

I like the greenish blue color

Oh hell yes. Poe, Hitchcock, and Anne Rice in one (two, but whatevs) sentence. I love the bottom right corner of this photo. Ever since I visited Japan in March and saw how prevalent above-ground power lines are there, I’ve been obsessed with photographing them and started noticing them everywhere.

“Bat-Meat”

When I saw the picture I was drawn to the texture of the wires that comes through almost on accident. When you wrote about bats I kept thinking of the Dispatch song Bats in the Belfrey.

Does this not remind anyone of the old movie The War of the Worlds with Gene Barry?

It does not remind me of any of those authors. Just not spooky enough for that. But my imagination could be different. The photo , in my opinion, is a better representation of how beautiful nature can be covered up and blocked out by industrial needs.

I love this photo. Very Gotham-y.
