Labyrinth Trap
Labyrinths have always had a magical and slightly daunting effect on me. Possibly influenced by the David Bowie / Jennifer Connelly 80s movie.
Walking around in the walls of a labyrinth, you have lost all your friends, but can still hear them in the distance, somewhere. Not sure where you are or where you are going, you stumble across an open area, an old forest. You see a makeshift burrow, made out of old stones, looks like it’s been there for hundreds of years. As you get closer, you hear soft whimpering coming from within. As you get to the old wooden door, you can clearly hear a child crying inside. That’s when you hear the growling behind you…
Taken in Prague, along an old overgrown path, on the way to the hill that overlooks the whole city. I clearly remember looking at this and having a small shiver.

Hot. The distance, lighting… make me scared to stand too near. What lurks behind?
parmi replied
That’s awesome! I was almost too scared to go any closer when taking this. That creature behind is deadly, to say the least :)

Slightly disturbing feel again (which obviously I like). The vignetting really focuses the sensation of isolation / helplessness, shiver shiver, very dark, If I said “7” would that make sense…..
h
parmi replied
7.. are you referring to the morgan freeman / brad pitt movie? If so I think I get it.. Thanks mate, I’m really glad the isolating mood worked! :)
Ric Alexander
Ok ok, the words had me shivering. I loved the story and this image is just great ! I love the darkened edges giving it a sinister mood.
parmi replied
Thanks so much mate! It was a pretty creepy thing to see in person, I wanted to take it to the next level!! :)
Gary Gurr

Wow, great image parmi – it just oozes sinister and spooky!!!! Your words sent a shiver thru me – I think you and Kim should team up with your scary storytelling skills – it would be a best seller I think :))))))
parmi replied
Thanks so much Trish, i love the fact that you said “oozes”. That was exactly what I was thinking when I created it! The fear factor seems to be really coming through on this one!! I think people might run screaming if Kim and I team up haha! Thanks a lot for the great support Trish :)
