A Modern Landscape #hanbury 8

This is like something out of a Turner landscape painting. There’s a small but quintessential building that attracts our attention, but there’s also a great mixture of primary colours both on, above and below the landscape. It’s a great example of how the dominance of man can still combine with the natural landscape without being too interfering. The spots on the yellow hills don’t look too convincing though. They could be bushes in the fields, or they could be pits leading deep into catacombs underneath the church. Then there’s the wire. It looks like it’s leading to nowhere. It could be that one of the farmer’s sons is practising a tightrope act in his space time. He’s even got a spotlight trained on it so he can practice at night. Within the hedge, there’s a perfect arched circle. Perhaps he’s made his own entrance. At least the people on the mound can get a good view.
