Paesaggio Industriale

Douzy, 9 months ago

The red really anchors anotherwise very bare picture. Godd work, and a bit of a change of style!

Kitsmumma, 9 months ago

This is in no way boring, reminds me of a scene from the X Files. Love the gorgeous soft tones. Well spotted.

Mel Brackstone, 9 months ago

Oh my, what an amazing landscape! Love that spaceship above the gorgeous red container, and the echoing of the red in the striped pole…..and that sky!!!

Jase812, 9 months ago

Awesome ! it reminds me of the thunderbirds ! yeah I loved that show as a kid !still love it !well done Paul

Michael Kienhuis, 9 months ago

Hi Paul,
Hey this rocks…just a stunning example of industry and sheer grit!

Basia McAuley, 9 months ago

This looks like a scene out of a futuristic movie! Great find and capture Paul.

halftone, 9 months ago

This is a great find, do you know what the spaceship is?

Adrian Donoghue, 9 months ago

Terrific landscape Paul, very well seen.

Louise Cooke, 9 months ago

Really looks like a scene from a sci-fi..colour harmony is awesome..what a very different view of Italy..fantastic!

Rhana Griffin, 9 months ago

Paul this is so far from boring you may as well be talking the distance from Earth to Pluto! Love the geometric shapes set against rugged mountain beauty. The earth tones in the foreground really highlight the red in the shipping container and that golden light is to die for!

Paul Tupman, 9 months ago

Terrific find Paul.. what an awesome landscape with such unusual structures. The colouring and your technique in processing reminds me of old 60s style illustrations of how things might be in the future when we have settle on Mars.. and of course that would have been the year 2000! Love the angle on this too.. looks like you have stumbled on something hidden away..

Linda Syms, 9 months ago

It makes me stop and look to see whats in the distance,love the red it realy stands out against the earth.

John Hurle, 9 months ago

This is amazing Paul….You have an real talent for finding these surreal, futuristic landsapes…....Let alone capturing them

Jason Moses, 9 months ago

Nope, not boring. back to warmer tones. I love it, like most of your stuff.

Andrew Brown, 9 months ago

Anything but boring Paul. A wonderful futuristic landscape

Paul Louis Vil..., 9 months ago

Intriguing indeed!
What a find, glad you followed your instincts!!
So much can be visualized and imagined about what goes on here, this is a movie scene waiting for a script!!
Amazing work mate!

shayne2011, 9 months ago

That’s a breathtaking shot Paul, congratulations. The scope of the landscape is impressive, it has the impression of a vast scope. And that Italian light is amazing. It paints everything with an intriguing local colour that reminds me of a tone poem. Anyway, enough bullshit from me, I love it.

Helen McLean, 9 months ago

It looks so futuristic, it reminds me of the landscape in Starship Troopers!!!

Lucan Industri..., 9 months ago

Like a Thunderbirds set.
Ahhh, wonderful, back to the lavatory….

Enrico Bettesw..., 9 months ago

Certainly is intriguing Paul, another classic Vanzella moment… love the little red and white striped pole too which balances out the container well… great atmospheric perspective here too… another job well done, love it!

Juilee Pryor, 9 months ago

oh this is beautiful. classic vanzella imagery. wonderful and there is something about your sense of colour and placement. Subtle and elegant and its so glad to see you back on form kicking it again. I just love this. Its a bit like BySilent’s work. If you haven’t seen any of his utterly incredible works then look him up. He moderates the DaDaland group. Very similar sensibitily.

marieancolie, 9 months ago

I have always loved this kinf of photo.
and what I like so much in Italy (country so close to my city) is the ability of the Italian
in bridges and highway constructions, especially in mountain areas as ours .

Jeff Burns, 9 months ago

Beautiful landscape the tones tho this are amazing.
How could anyone in there right mind find this boring Paul.
That dirt pile in the front makes the photo seem 3D
The Red container is perfect you have a spectacular eye.
This is so surreal I love it!

Michael Hurren, 9 months ago

I love it Paul, the pastel colours are cool!

Mick

Frank Legault, 9 months ago

Great fin Paul, and not boring at all, simple and beautiful!!!

EOS20, 9 months ago

Love it!! Well done Paul! :)

Lou Green, 9 months ago

Thunderbirds ARE go! Love it Paul

pauldrobertson, 9 months ago

bizarre and oddly beautiful dude

pauldrobertson, 9 months ago

the colours are separated by the slightest sliver of tonality (colour theory as u probably know. works well)

Hans Kawitzki, 9 months ago

what a fantastic find looks like a space station

Kurt Tutschek, 9 months ago

absolutely futuristic – strange and unique image.

Suzanne German, 9 months ago

Paul – I love the orange hue in the sky….really does the whole surreal thing…and the spaceship…it’s great!

bodymechanic, 9 months ago

im intrigued!

aftsun, 9 months ago

great capture..~A

Woodie, 9 months ago

You have a good eye for that something extra in a photo!
Cheers Neil

David Spencer, 9 months ago

what I like about it (sorry for not reading all the comments but you get too many) is how it relates to Italian modernism. So proud, industrious and yet still relating to the handmade… the reason why italy is far behind in ‘technology’ but far ahead in hand mand engineering.

Rhys Jones, 9 months ago

Did this really exist?It looks make believe…Well done

Sarah Moore, 9 months ago

awesome colouring and composition as usual!

justlinda, 9 months ago

Great shot, looks almost like a film set!.

Heather Rivet..., 9 months ago

interesting..looks like mars:D well done

Benjamin Scheurer, 9 months ago

I find it intriguing, too, Paul….love the unique look of this landscape and the way you framed this.
BRILLIANT shot!

SnapHappy, 9 months ago

colors/tone on this are awesome!

Andrew Bosman, 9 months ago

Amazing “retro” feel Paul and as usual your processing is very distinct. Good one!!

meanderthal, 9 months ago

nice to see a hark back to your old style here….
great stuff

ozjami, 9 months ago

I’ll mirror my brother Jase’s comment…Very Retro!!!

docophoto, 9 months ago

Very surreal, awesome colours as always.

aphoto4you, 9 months ago

the wants to go to red….which directs me to the spaceship….wondering if they have restaurant on the top…would be a great view…with mountains on the back picture perfect i would say…

Lisadee, 9 months ago

Whoa – wonderland, where’s Dr Smith and Will Robinson? In the Chariot no doubt. Fabulous capture Paul, love the counter balance between the small spire and the tall ‘dish’.

Helene Kippert, 9 months ago

This definitely has a sci fi feel to it – fascinating !

Silvia Ganora, 9 months ago

I was drawn here by the title, being Italian myself… :) Great find indeed. Where exactly in Italy did you shoot this?

Mikko Laaksonen, 9 months ago

Colors is fantastic! nice photo

Mohsen Bayramn..., 9 months ago

Very nicely done, as always, Paul. I love the way you looked and composed for this one. creative and really beautiful! lighting, color tones… everything is just superb!
Bravo!

victor, 9 months ago

Antanas, 9 months ago

Great composition and perfect soft colors…

amorspainter, 9 months ago

hallo paul

whit a great intention
dick

Jamie Lee, 9 months ago

Totally agree with you, brings lots of intrigue, even reminds me of a scene out of a sci-fi movie, nice work

marcusjohn, 9 months ago

Beautiful work Paul, love the colour and tone..Straight out of the Thunderbirds… I’m waiting for Virgil to come into shot.

Paul Vanzella, 9 months ago

Hey – thanks for all the amazing comments – yes, it is very Thunderbirds… that show had the best interior design… Thank you so much!

Bruce Watson, 9 months ago

Thunderbirds or Lost in Space perhaps…but with a touch of Antonioni’s ‘Zabriske Point’ as well (I’m half imagining that tower to explode!). It truly is an intriguing vista well captured.

Daniela Reynos..., 9 months ago

Love it! lines are amazing!

Jessica Tremp, 9 months ago

that red just pops right out at you…fantastic colour combination

magicman, 8 months ago

there’s a little discord between the mountains/dirt and the buildings which if it was absent would render the image not as nearly interesting. two worlds collide.

Helen Bascom, 8 months ago

Very cool lighting. It has an old sci – fi movie feel too it. Love the touch of red.

Darren Burdell, 8 months ago

Really like this, I agree with the Thunderbirds comments, the cheques on the monolith and the biblical light on the hills make it for me.

Holly Werner, 8 months ago

Great shot.

Birgitta, 8 months ago

To me, it’s your editing that makes it so intriguing.
Fine work.

Michael Lane, 8 months ago

Cool work! The colour is awesome in this!

Michael Alesich, 8 months ago

Your tone as always is perfect. It makes me think of an Asimov story.

Albert1000, 8 months ago

Interesting.

Deri Dority, 8 months ago

Such a cool image! I love the contrast of the modern industrial buildings and colors with the surrounding landscape. It all seems to work together so well.

Rod Adams, 8 months ago

Beautiful work as always!!

studiofascino, 8 months ago

like that red container!

AngelArtist, 8 months ago

I find this intriguing. It looks like a Space Scene.

SNik, 8 months ago

very nice capture! the red rectangle of the container does the trick

paulevelin, 8 months ago

fascinating…and looking at it a long time to figure out why it works so well

iCandor, 8 months ago

Beautiful and a bit surreal, like from another (imaginary) planet. I like the colour tones.

Mark Hayward, 8 months ago

Real and unreal. What an amazing find… I would probably have caused an accident if I saw this out the bloody window on a highway! As always your p.proc. has brought this up beautifully. Good to see the old Vanzella is alive and well.

Astrid Pardew IPA, 8 months ago

I think it makes a great picture! Well taken!

Dean Warwick, 7 months ago

Men in Black Headquarters. :) Cool! Fav’d.

Diana Forgione, 4 months ago

Like the photo, but I would have liked it better without the dirt in the foreground.

vincent bruno, 3 months ago

love that water tower!!!

Janice Windle, 2 months ago

Bellissimo! This is a most beautiful image.The subtlety of the colour balnce, the accent of the red; a painter could not have composed a better picture.

Paul Vanzella in reply to Janice Windle’s comment, 2 months ago

wow – thanks janice, and your last line just moved me… ‘a painter could not have composed a better picture’ This makes it so worthwhile… big thank you!
