Stormy Berlin Afternoon

When I gaze at Joyce Tenneson’s image, I can almost feel the fog and mist wrapping around me, creating a serene yet empty sanctuary. The interplay of warm light and cool air crafts a hauntingly beautiful scene that feels both ethereal and inviting. It’s reminiscent of a “Stormy Berlin Afternoon”, where the contrast between the fleeting figure in the damp, dark mist and the cold, desolate urban landscape is striking. Despite this urban emptiness, nature’s subtle beauty seems to ebb and flow, superimposed on the urban harshness with its quiet presence.

Machine Shop, Our Enduring Legacy
Inspired by: John Willis, Recycled Realities 1
inkjet photograph
32″ x 20″

John Willis (American, b. 1976) Recycled Realities #1 has inspired me to submit this image. This image is my ode to a facet of our insensitivity to our environment, the constant destroying and transforming of earth’s treasures (iron ore, natural gas etc.) for our own selfish needs. “Machine Shop, Our Enduring Legacy” is a visual metaphor for our theft of natural resources and the un-erasable scars and objects that we haphazardly discard on our planet.
