Paesaggio Industriale

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

Terrific landscape Paul, very well seen.

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

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!

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..

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

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

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

Anything but boring Paul. A wonderful futuristic landscape

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!

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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 .

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!

I love it Paul, the pastel colours are cool!

Mick

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

Love it!! Well done Paul! :)

Thunderbirds ARE go! Love it Paul

bizarre and oddly beautiful dude

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

what a fantastic find looks like a space station

absolutely futuristic – strange and unique image.

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

im intrigued!

great capture..~A

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

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.

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

awesome colouring and composition as usual!

Great shot, looks almost like a film set!.

interesting..looks like mars:D well done

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

colors/tone on this are awesome!

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

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

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

Very surreal, awesome colours as always.

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…

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’.

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

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

Colors is fantastic! nice photo

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!

Yeah !,..one of ya’ best Paul

Great composition and perfect soft colors…

hallo paul
you also make a lot of good work
whit a great intention
dick

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

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

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

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.

Love it! lines are amazing!

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

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.

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

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.

Great shot.

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

Cool work! The colour is awesome in this!

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

Interesting.

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.

Beautiful work as always!!

like that red container!

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

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

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

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

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.

I think it makes a great picture! Well taken!

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

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

love that water tower!!!

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.

Another ripper! the squareness of the structures in the front against the hazy jagged mountain line works so well. I wonder when the Italians will announce the location of the extra-terrestrial life forms they have discovered! Also the reoccurring red & white stripe pole is a nice touch.

Wonderful image! I would love to see this in our new group The Other Side of Italy
