I took this photograph just before going to work at around 7:40 a.m. a few days ago. There was something about the many layers of horizontal stripes that caught my attention and just wouldn't let go. See how many "parallel" bands you can count! :)

Very cool! There's so much to read in this image. The colors are amazing! I like the contrasts between the warm and cool hues, between saturated and muted colors. I like the contrast between the actual seascape and the painted one.

And the juxtaposition of the human-made purely utilitarian structure like the road, an artistic creation like the mural, and the natural (more or less) scenery of the backdrop quite poetic :-) The color divisions in your composition also correspond to the differences in the nature of the objects . Pretty neat!

I know!! The lighting was also magical at 7:45 am, clear blue sky, a simple filter and 30 seconds of photoshop to amp the contrast just a little.
But that's how I was able to convey the impression it gives me whenever I pass by. Its not a very pretty mural, but the color contrasts are just amazing.

Its going to be replaced soon with an actual board walk, which will make the area a bit safer and nicer to hang around, but I'll try to photograph it as much as possible now.

8 is a pretty decent number... I guess it varies each time I see it and the mood I'm in at the moment. I've always loved that hokey little wall just because it offsets the ocean so dramatically... and confuses the horizon line. :huggle:

Awesome! I can't see that many parallel bands, but I liked the idea behind this painting :)
