I'm speechless! This photo is beautiful yet nightmarish. Like something seen in a dreamlike state causing one to awaken in a cold sweat. The trees seem void of life as does this building. Well done, Mr. Motts.

Looks almost sinister, like a nightmare indeed.

Nice. :D

Hmmm... I seem to have read something like this in Revelations.

An amazing shot. Once again Mr. Motts has an excellent eye for angles. FIrst you see the tree trunks, then it hits you that there is a tower behind, and with reddish sky to cap it off. Fanastic!

After one spends some time away from home, whether the trip was good or bad, long or just for the day, there is always an exhilarating excitement one feels when you make the final turn allowing you to see your home, familiar and comfortable, through the trees and silloueted against the evening sky. It's good to be back. To me this photo captures that feeling, but with a dark and hellish lunacy. A snapshot from a moment in that same event, but seen through the eyes of Satan. It gives me some sence of joy, but of which would also be the joy felt by demons. Amazing photo, Motts. Always impressed, and now possessed!

This looks like an image Tim Burton would use. :)
