Description
In case you've ever wondered what a late-night snowstorm looks like under sodium vapor light, here it is.
I made this picture out of my bathroom window, looking onto Kimball Avenue in the Albany Park area of Chicago on February 3, 2008.

Awesome effect! When I first saw this, I thought it was a-flame :)

It's very snowy, very crystalline, which makes me think of Superman's Fortress of Solitude (the movie version) on some serious growth hormones. That's a good thing, by the way. I like the complexity of the tree branches covered in snow, and that urban orange light from high-pressure sodium vapor always looks so...urban. This has a fantastic mood to it as well...very solitary; not lonely, just solitary, like you're wandering through the urban jumble, taking in the sights and sounds. Really nice work. Hmm...I'll have to look back and see when your Tangerine Period actually started. I like it and it'll be interesting to compare earlier Tangerinesque pieces to this. Great work.

"Picture yourself in a boat on a river, With tangerine trees and marmalade skies" The Beatles Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds This always come to mind when I see your tangerine fotos.

My first thought when I saw the thumbnail was, "Oh goody, another tangerine shot!" I get very childlike when I see something I like, and I love your tangerine series too. This is wonderful! I love the heavy dark curves of the branches on the top right. It looks like a river of molten gold is flowing alongside the building. The light is causing fascinating striations on the building and marvelously shining, almost white branches. The varying contrasts and jumbled up patterns of the branches is beautiful and reminds me of the veins on the images of dried leaves that Helle posted a while back. This image also shows the wonderfully wild patterns of nature in a compelling light. I like the contrast of them against the regulated patterns of the windows which are made more interesting by its slight tilt. Speaking of tilt, I am not in front of my laptop, so tilting the screen back and forth was more difficult, but well worth the contortions. Picture me bent down with head at lap level looking up and then up on my tiptoes. Glowing motion in a bed of lava turned into blasts of searing light. An excellent addition to your tangerine series!
