Carpark

It’s been a while since I uploaded anything to RedBubble – life’s become too busy! I’m going to set myself a challenge of uploading at least one image a week from now on. Here’s my first effort: I was drawn to the tapered columns in this underground carpark.

    Melbourne Uni?
    The curves of the supports is so unusual. I like.

    This is seriously good, Peter. What a great sight to see.
    Did you realise how it would turn out when you saw the scene? At times like this, I catch my breath in anticipation.

    Great shot.

    Very cool carpark shot – its both alive with action and deserted

    It has interesting lines… you don’t often see carparks with style! Mostly they’re square and boring… and full of lots of cars!

  • Paul Louis Villani

    Sure is distinctive! The “old” fashioned styling actually gives this area a bit of class! The low light capture adds a nice atmosphere to the piece!

    love the colours in this peter… there’s almost a rusty, gritty air about it…. when i’m sure its quite a nice car park ;)

    One image per week – that’s my goal as well Pete… This image is sensational…..! Such wonderful tones and underlying dark theme, which I love. This is a brilliant image Pete as it has classical painterly tones of colour, however, brings a message across of the modernity of life. Great work and wonderfully captured!

  • Brett Foster

    Great image Peter. You’ve made into more than a carpark – keep expecting a scene from Dark City to materialise. Coool place and coool capture.

    sensational image, Peter….love the lines here.

  • Mundy Hackett

    This reminds me of an Escher painting in a way, although not literally. The way the pillars sort of split the scene and mirror each other, but at varying depths in the frame really pulls you into the image. The light on the ceiling is perfect, bringing one right into the heart of this scene for a look around. Again nothing unique about the subject, but the way you composed the mundane and the way you added the interest by playing off of the repeating elegant patterns of the pillars makes for a pice of art!

    Late comment I know, but …

    This carpark is underneath South Lawn, in the main campus of the University of Melbourne. I was told on good authority (a former Deputy Vice-Chancellor) that above each of these tapered columns is a tree. The taper was specifically designed to allow each tree to develop a suitable root-ball to sustain it.

    fwiw

  • peterworks here replied

    It’s a very clever design.
