Autumn In The City - Digital Montage
Autumn In The City – Digital Montage. Where does the year go ? I still felt that it was Autumn, took the photo, wrote the poem and then realized that Autumn finished a month ago !
The Regional Post Office building at Newcastle East.
Autumn In The City
The leaves turn to gold
slowly falling
earthbound
and perish on the pavement
The wind whispers while
the sunlight ebbs
and smears in rusty hues
Clouds fill and gather all around
Thunder bellows “Winter is returning to the land!”

It’s lovely, reflector. We don’t have much to speak of for seasons. It’s just hot or cold. I know how it feels to see seasons pass so quickly. I love the pretty autumn colors.
reflector replied
Thanks a lot Lori ! I just couldn’t get over the fact that I was still thinking it’s Autumn. I edited everything to keep close to an Autumn palette.
Antanas

WHOAAA this is exquisite!!!! SO totally love the red!!! love the autumn leaves, the building, n the beautiful words….and there’s such a mysterious yet intense orange lighting it seems, to the whole piece, like a forboding storm…an orange storm….it’s so neat ;)

dinghysailor1
where has this been hiding…its still fantastic work!!
reflector replied
I was getting confused for a second there Dinghy ! I thought, that you thought, that you hadn’t seen this before ! :)
That’s what I get for my speed reading exploits !
I just shuffle my most recent personal faves to the front now and again, but I don’t want to crowd those first 6 images people see when then land in my Gallery with stuff they may have seen, pushing the current work out of view.
reflector
I’m concise, aren’t I ! Thanks for the Fave !
mekea
Beautiful poem and work! Such beautiful colors! :))
reflector replied
Thank you Mekea ! I make things in other colour schemes, but seem to naturally prefer these reddish tones. Glad you like it ! :)

Fantastic work James
reflector replied
Thanks Linda, this is the only image I’ve had that made it to the Home Page – but it was a big thrill !
michael byerley
VERY POWERFUL AND BRILLIANT IN THE PRESENTATION.THIS IS A SIGHT TO SEE !!!

Thank you Marina ! They are my favourite colours to design with and it was a great feeling when it was finished.
It’s easy to read in full resolution, but here it’s a struggle – large view isn’t very big.

Didn’t realize your PO was deciduous! REALLY love this one – always a sucker for red, but red and yellow combined with warm tones of the building are a bombshell. Outstanding textural interest, too.
reflector replied
Har HA ! Your comment is deciduous ! :)
This made it the the Home Page a few months ago – which was exciting ! This design has my fave palette choices for Graphic Design in it – red, orange, yellow. Thanks very much for the Fave, Shallay !

Congrats on your well deserved feature.

Yes I have found a reshuffle works at times.
reflector replied
It does help to bring new life to a posting, but it’s a bit of a pain using the shuffle controls on RB !
