Michael Kienhuis, 4 months ago

How do you get to these places without being told to get OUT! I had a few security guards tell me to move on. Again Fantastic! M:>

LisaG, 4 months ago

The colours are amazing…..the engines look like they are made of gold…..

Love the minimalist feel to this image….yet there is so much going on….I’m in a quandary….

Mel Brackstone, 4 months ago

You must be in seventh heaven with all those aircraft museums :) Love this! What fabulous light!!

Imber, 4 months ago

Awesome!

robotsdream, 4 months ago

brilliant! love the colours – almost surreal, like it was taken on a distant planet in another galaxy. And the number 48 makes it perfect!

wellman, 4 months ago

looks like you’ve pulled a beautiful old canvas backdrop in behind those twin engines! Love the generous foreground also. Many other reasons to love this but I’ll save some for the plethora of fans to follow

Cathleen Taraw..., 4 months ago

Owww….. cool!

Cain Doherty, 4 months ago

such a mystery, reminds me of donnie darko

Mark Hayward, 4 months ago

Jeremy Ham, 4 months ago

meanderthal, 4 months ago

such tasty twin engine treats…. mmmm.

Alexander Gitlits, 4 months ago

Fantastic work! I love composition and colours!

Juilee Pryor, 4 months ago

if you half close your eyes and squint at the screen they could be….. wagons without the horses going out west…. or cannons about to fire….. either of which fits in with the imagery…. lovely stuff

and such gorgeous colour again… so muted and restrained…. well done

Zaldy Infante, 4 months ago

great capture, looks like an illusion

Anette Tyler, 4 months ago

Brilliant capture. I love the composition, the colours and the lines.

Lachlan Kent, 4 months ago

Sometimes your work is so artistic it feels unreal… one of those moments

Cliff vestergaard, 4 months ago

Paul I am always just blowwen away by your work, and the way you can just see it.

Darren Burdell, 4 months ago

Classic! Love the symmetry, this has a kind of retro ‘Thunderbirds’ kind of feel for me, very cool.

FlyAwayPeter, 4 months ago

I like it a lot (but has engine #2 been cloned from engine #1? I have to ask because I’m a sucker for these tricks) :)

peter hoenderdos, 4 months ago

There is always a nice tone to your photo’s.

Lindsay Blamey, 4 months ago

Awesome image.. love the landscape in the background…
PS – the roof is fixed… no dramas.

ltruskett, 4 months ago

How I love what you do, to the max. The PVz treatment….........strikes again. Love it, mate. :))

docophoto, 4 months ago

You turn the most banal objects into works of art.

andrew cowell, 4 months ago

just love it!

victor, 4 months ago

Sky eaters!, ....love the vast sky above, with these two little sky eaters hunkering down behind the fence, just waiting for the next chance to go zoooming around the heavens with their arse on fire,... lovely.!!

MarkoBeslac, 4 months ago

I’m happy to see more of new work…...This is great….colors are beautiful…..IMHO compo will be much stronger without this ’’48’’ ....

Michael Douglass, 4 months ago

Love the tones in this.

Bruce Watson, 4 months ago

Another astutely judged composition and tonal palette Paul. (Gee, if those engines are the discards then the new ones must be pretty swish).

machandel, 4 months ago

Looks like a SF film image- man just conquered a strange golden world. Impressive.

Rivergirl, 4 months ago

Awesome, love Arizona. Fantastic capture Paul, the light is just beautiful. Welcome back!

stephfine, 4 months ago

Spectacular Paul! You achieve colors that flow so well together; this photo was taken in Tucson Arizona, way cool!!

Kate Towers IPA, 4 months ago

awesome colours and image!!

bodymechanic, 4 months ago

great composition,and mad colour,awesum!

velveteagle, 4 months ago

Paul you just made my mind flip.. Taken away really.. Can you hear my hands clapping ??

JanG, 4 months ago

When I think of your photos I always think of gold light, but now you’ve turned the engines to gold too! Incredible shot in an incredible place. There’s nothing like the light and landscapes in Arizona and New Mexico.

annacuypers, 4 months ago

Does this place really exist ? Wow, what an eye for beauty you have my friend. Lovely color, light and composition.

Henk Stolk, 4 months ago

Love the pastel colors

Chris White, 4 months ago

Reminds me of Edward Hopper in it’s minimal poetics

itsallgoodamanda, 4 months ago

tops !,i want to go and photograph the oil refinery but my man says its ugly,one gets a bit sick of taking pictures of flowers,and i think machinery always looks better in a photo,cheers!

Jessica Tremp, 4 months ago

just love the painterly sky in this Paul…

Suzanne German, 4 months ago

hey paul in tucson arizona!!!! have you met jo jo yet???
....love this image…..so unusual so vanzella :))) !!

HydeSide, 4 months ago

Tucson…..on purpose?
You can find beauty anywhere.

jlynn, 4 months ago

Amazing work!!

Mark Richards, 4 months ago

I totally again with your statement Paul about the barren landscape… it works for me!

Mat Moore, 4 months ago

Yeah this is pretty special.

Linda Sannuti, 4 months ago

this reminds me of a backdrop of a movie set..cool work!

Mel Brackstone, 4 months ago

Had to come back for another look. You really do the most amazing things with the landscape Paul. Fabulous fabulous work.

Martin Derksema, 4 months ago

A landscape as empty as the moon. I think empty landscapes strip the mind of superfluous ornaments. If I am in a landscape like this it makes my mind shut up … at last … ha ha. This undressed state of mind always gives me the feeling of being closer to my own essence. That is maybe what makes this kind of landscapes so attractive. The green wall and the number 48 is just amazing. The aircraft is stripped off to its essence too: thrust. But the abandoned engines also look as if they are castrated. No use for thrust, fighter jets and heroic pilots in this landscape. Here everything is reduced to what it is. Great work, Paul. Always love the clarity in your images.

majo, 4 months ago

great colors in arizona
and like martin said number 48 is great too

Barssel, 4 months ago

Great capture…...............so well done.

ozczecho, 4 months ago

Cool.

Deborah Parkin, 4 months ago

another gem Paul – i love the colours and shapes in this – composition is just perfect :)

Mardynn, 4 months ago

Great composition.

orourke, 4 months ago

you really find facinating subjects , well done

kcranmer, 4 months ago

Excellent shot Paul, I like the symmetry of it too!

nodrogart, 4 months ago

Now I am not one to be favouriting a lot of images, I feel that I need to be very specific about what I add. This is one of them. the colours and the feel that you give to the photo, very classical and almost a retro style with the colours.

James Stevens, 4 months ago

It just makes me want to go Pod-Racing!

karen milder, 4 months ago

another wonderful image, love the tone

billyboy, 4 months ago

Paul, I love the vibe you`ve got in this. This part of the US is and always has been a very secretive place as regards military testing activity… you should read the book 101 Suns which is all about the nuclear bomb tests in the Nevada desert that spread deathly levels of fallout throughout the western US, especially Arizona and Utah.

These two discarded military fighter jet engines in the context you`ve put them have an aura of mystery and secrecy that veils the magnificance of this awesome place that shouldn`t have the dark history that it does. Excellent work!

paulevelin, 4 months ago

feels great to see your work…always….and this is simply superb

chelsgus, 4 months ago

Fantastic!
This image makes me laugh – it’s just so kooky. It makes me think Thunderbirds.
Maybe it’s the colors and dwarfed size of the engines that make my response so far removed from what billyboy (above) has commented on about this shot.

Maxhamish, 4 months ago

I am really impressed by this piece…an excellent image in my opinion (and lots of others I see!).

Michael Lane, 4 months ago

Awesome shot. Love the tones in this. I’ll have to check out Arizona…

Gratziela Gal, 4 months ago

The mountains in the background look so carton, so fake…weird! It almost looks like a movie setting…

MhDkHr, 4 months ago

wonderful colors in arizona…simple and beautiful..
i like it paul,bravo!

Jeff Burns, 4 months ago

This is awesome Paul love the color to this one.
This is fabulous

Adrian Donoghue, 4 months ago

Must have missed this one Paul, another beauty, love the starkness of the scene and colour, complimented by a very unusual and interesting subject material.

Helen Bascom KMA, 4 months ago

As always you are the master of minimalism.

Simon Mears, 4 months ago

bloody hell..how did i miss this? hugely creative work!

tomg, 4 months ago

Cool shot …

Jared Revell, 4 months ago

You really know how to get the best out of everything Paul.
Great work once again.

Tony Fallon, 4 months ago

What a fantastic image. Really different and really appealing !

botticcelli, 4 months ago

the composition is unique..love the soft pastel tones

J.K. York, 4 months ago

they seem so out of place, but your composition makes them part of the landscape. industrial/military erosion is a great subject. as always, your touch of superb balance and slightly surreal color makes this a wonderful piece of art.

Colin Tobin, 4 months ago

I’m starting to thing you keep a stack of orange pylons in your camera bag. :)

Another great shot Paul. I always feel as though I’m looking into a parallel world when looking at your images.

Zaldy Infante, 4 months ago

second time ‘round! who can compete against the double intake of visual solidity and softness?

berndt2, 4 months ago

Great composition : love the unexpectedness of the image, and yet how naturally it’s been handled.

Anna Margittai, 3 months ago

love the colors here. simple yet bright.

JohnScott, 3 months ago

lol, they got trollies, maybe a salt lake time trial. This is great

Diana Forgione, 3 months ago

It seems almost redundant to add my comments but Iike the colors very much and the clouds and mountains in the background.

Christopher Bi..., 2 months ago

love the colour palet in this, right place right time, well captured

Carmelh, about 1 month ago

Your inspiration shines right through here…..so perfectly framed and the colours stunning….not to mention those fighter jet engines…they are a standout!!!!!
