Description


This reminds me of that old screensaver where the pipes would run and run and run and then start over. The ceiling of the restaurant was wall-to-wall ductwork, light fixtures, heavy beams, and a gorgeous golden glow. If you want the mood of Reza's, you can get that here Memories of Reza's I've already shared the mood. This one is about shape and form and edges and light and shadows and how your eye moves around the image. There are places in this photograph where my eye wants to stop, and it's almost like being stuck in a hole. There are places that are more challenging to look at, spots that are soothing and easy ... and I bet those places are different for everyone! What catches your eye? What attracts or repels you? Where do you find your eye stopping?

Do pipes like this have anything in common with broken strands in an old, weathered rope? My eye is caught by the air conditioning duct...why? I like cool. And that makes me think about hot weather in Chicago. Oh, what a tangled web we weave:-) Cool tippy shot!

The light catches my eye... the crossed patterns of the pipes at the back attracts me and nothing repels. Very cool abstract image my friend! Thanks for the catching up!!! :)

I like the overall pattern, and like Bill my eye goes to the duct. But, call me old-fashioned, I'm not keen on this sort of industrial ceiling in an eating house!

Industrial for sure - I tend to focus on the eliptical duct entering from the top-left. Must be a mission to keep dust free! Abstract! Cheers, Clive

My eyes wanted to go look on top of all the pipes just to see how much dust is laying there! Great shot!

Yes, I remember the old screen saver. The first thing to attract my eye was the same as cfulton. I think because the duct is massive and stops abruptly. What held my eye was the space behind the light that is shown in its entirety. I realize it is not, but it looked like empty space going up through the ceiling. Cool shot!

I think that screensaver is still in use somewhere. I remember using it, although I went for the starfield, zooming at you like a cheap Star Trek warp-speed special effect! I love the black and white treatment of this photo. I love the fact that I know this ceiling, and yet it's completely different here. It can be anywhere...even in Agara! Wonderful work and it's funny, I can almost catch a whiff of dill and pomegranates mixed with walnuts in a decadent sauce!
