Description
Respect The Wind.
You might need to "zoom" for the details on this.
This is a tornado reflection....They have always fascinated me..
The movie "Twister" from 1996, and documentary on Discovery channel, made it even worse.#:o)
My romantic relationship with tornadoes, is of course, caused by the fact..
That i live in a country where we never really felt nature catastrophies.
I guess i could learn to hate tornadoes, if they ever tried to kill me. #:o)
I do understand if my U.S friends from the mid west hate them...
If i remember correctly... a few of them live in tornado alley.
I know how they ruin people's lives in the U.S... make people homeless.. take everything they ever
had.. kill people, and demolish whole cities and trailer-parks..
But still...i feel that tornadoes are a paradox...
Because... They are beautiful and fascinating... They are ugly and traitorous...
They are scary, murderous and honor-frightening..And so on.... a true paradox.
A power so great... that nothing or noone can stop it....That is also a paradox for mankind.....
"Man" still believes, that he is "master of the universe". #;oD
But truely..he is nothing but an insignificant little boogie man.
Not even a close match.. for the powers of mother nature.
I guess i kinda share my feelings about tornadoes... with "Storm chasers".
If i lived in the US instead of Denmark..I would probably be a "Storm chaser". #;oD
I have tried to differentiate my feelings about tornadoes, in this image.
The title of this image.. is also the title theme song, for the movie "Twister"
A fantasic gentle instrumental ballad... so no lyrics or poems this time..
A legendary guitar player, who is also my personal guitar hero of all times...
Wrote it, and perform it with his band....
If the name "Eddie Van Halen" scare you.. do not listen to the composition.#;oD
There are some pretty amazing tornado photos in the video, too.
Click here to hear the fantastic composition
I find the guitar playing in the composition truely amazing...
Because it catch the spirit, of storms and tornadoes..
The dynamics, the pitches, the differences, the sensitivity, the wildness, the spontaneousness, the quickness.. and many other emotions.

I have been in one and that was enough for me, really scary especially when you have small babies:-) The image is wonderful Lars! I have friends who are storm chasers and they love it. As for me, I'll stick to viewing it on TV or in art;-) Beautiful work, great message!

Great looking image Lars, I understand your feelings. We will never be able to win the battle with nature, we can try to lower the impact but never will we be the master of things. Excellent idea and perfectly made, wonderful effects.

there comes to my mind if tornados are a paradox then the human beeing for sure,treacherous and ugly!although mostly disguised as good looking.

Outstanding render, Lars! Loved the movie and I've been in a few storms like that - A hurricane and a twister as well as a typhoon at sea.

Wonderful interpretation and render. Yes we are so small. We see the devastation not far from us. Whole towns destroyed. There are no flowers remaining.

"Storm chaser" lol going after them is wild. wonderful image you show on how they are made.

Great one Lars and I'm gonna go check out the video. As for tornadoes if you want to enjoy them up close and personal you need to move here to where I live for a while as it is in the middle of what they call Tornado Alley. The most recent big one wiped out the entire downtown of the small city 4 miles from us called Pierce City.

a wonderful image with contrasting emotions. flowers and storms, light and dark, male and female... another very clever and thoughtful work. I'll pass on storms of any kind, however. :)

I think you have captured the intrigue and fear of these tornadoes in your piece. For those who chase them, there is the thrill of the hunt and for those who fall victim there is the agony of defeat. This is a marvelous image.

breathtaking render Lars, you have captured both the beauty and the ugliness of winds in their many forms. We don't get many tornadoes in this part of the US, though we have had two that I can remember. Small ones, but they did plenty of damage.
densa
