I'm almost speechless... Who'd have thought that when looking at this, fascinating!

A nightmare jigsaw.....

cool

Creative and most impressive a uniquely individual and lovely piece of manipulation!!

Breathtaking and awe-inspiring, in another one of your stunning black and white concepts, Mark. A maelstrom of perspective, stark contrast, textures, sharply angled rooftops, trees, probably a snow scene with a chalet, all of which dominates my screen. I'm trying to come up with an analogy, artist wise, to compare it with, but at my age I'm lucky to even be coherent. Nothing but splendid, my friend.

AMAZING DREAM-WORK

This is amazing; and it immediately makes me think of a book I first read a long, long, LONG time ago called "Engine Summer" by John Crowley. In the world that it inhabits (a distant post-apocalyptic future, of course) their repository of knowledge is a large group of photographic slides, which are "read" by layering them one over another to increase the complexity of the knowledge. See why I thought of this? I've read and reread this book so many times, because I love the story and it has so much to say on so many levels (and I'm fascinated by the post-apocalyptic thing; maybe I'm studying up?) Anyway, this is the kind of image that just pulls you in and doesn't let you out again...so much to see and absorb! Well done! And read the book, it's not very long but it will stay with you, I promise...

Mark, first of all allow me to say what a truly brilliant idea this compilation was. I find myself fascinated by this presentation, and can't look away. The amazing effects almost give it a Goth style, and an almost haunting feeling.

I can see bits and pieces of all those fotos, but the weird think that I also see something like spanish moss in a swamp somewhere. At any rate, it's a very trippy way of of compiling so many fotos. I like this a LOT!

This has an almost Escher-esque feeling to it, with all the walkways and angles and planes. I was going to look at your last eight pictures and see if I could figure it out, but decided I wouldn't. Not because I don't care, but because I wanted to just experience this as it is rather than pick it apart. This is brilliant!

I really like this twin-horizon compo, Mark! Its graphics is mostly composed of the curves and patterns of foliage and the straight lines of kerbstone, all in harmony but there's still a puzzle untouched...

A very beautiful and creative abstract, yet with such delicate detail.Very nice work, Mark.

fantastic image

Stunning image and title, Mark. What a cool idea to mix the negatives. It perfectly illustrate experiences from a dream. A brilliant piece of work.

This brought on so many reactions that to start it was just, "whoooaaa!" Straight away it brought memories of dreams, of worlds where the now and then; of what is, was, will be, and never quite was or will be, are all jumbled together. Of trees that hang down and don't quite touch the ground; walking into houses that are memories, but not quite; seeing people who have gone and knowing both that they are there, and they are not. It was this last thought of people, and the thought of seeing them with you, while the entirety of life is known (as you do in a dream sometimes) that made me think of this image as a place, remembering it's past, present, and future. I've been watching a lot of 'Time Team' episodes lately. (A British archaeology show where they have 3 days to dig down into the ground and try to work out what was there in the past.) When they layer down into a place's history, all kinds of remarkable things and questions come up. So much is there and so much is missing. There is an artist who will try to recreate what it looked like the time they are investigating. Other times, when they find evidence from many different periods, they will start at one time and show the changes happening. I really love seeing that. It makes me think about the memory of the land, remembering what was and is and will be. Seeing it all together like layers of time, the tree that is gone, the house that was made from it and then rotted away, the saplings from that tree that lived on, the buildings reaching up to the sky or spreading out on the land, the changing courses of rivers. And all through this the lives of people, and other animals flit through, leaving their presence. That's what this marvelous image of yours made me think of; a place seeing its entirety in layers. An eternity with a beginning and an end, but everlasting all the same. This is beautiful and inspired. I have gone on a bit about my visceral reaction to it, but also there is much to say about the wonderful creativity and excellent composition of it. The way you have placed the images, the blending and manipulation is sheer genius. The lines draw one in. The strong presence of trees and architecture, neither one overpowering the other but both integral to the piece, weave a fascinating story. I love the small, unobtrusive but also integral, presence of people. Along the bottom of the image is an area of softer grey, which makes me think of the land feeling the presence of the earth beneath it. I echo LBJ2, a brilliant piece of work!
