Sky Beyond

Peering up at sky beyond the manmade peaks

Filled with modern cave-dwellers

I lose all sense of time

Time is standing still

And rushing forward

Looking back and leaping on toward,

Dare I say it?,

New horizons.

These mountains of concrete, glass, and steel,

Seen from the echoing valley below

Seem like clockwork detritus

Telling time and being told by time

Epic and yet too soon decrepit

Young, yet already broadcasting their ancient heritage

Beautiful, yet supremely horrific

Take me to the earthborn mountains

Where birds sing and rivers ramble

And the sun shines playfully through the trees.

Time will stand still

And the rush will cease.

Take me there.

Please.

First attempt at this kind of photo collage.

I was experimenting with different sizes and orientations.

Color and overlay were part of the selection process, too, of course.
There are really only four photo images in this collage.

The sidebar splash of blue...

not convinced it helps the composition,

but this was almost entirely an experimental exercise.
