Even when I turn my head sideways it looks crazy abstract. Maybe that's just the blood rushing to the side of my head making me dizzy. Either way, fun shot!

It doesn't take much to trick the brain does it, turned it looks completely normal. Well done mate:-)

Thanks for the comments, Tom, Christina & Rod. This is actually a shot of the side of a "fancy" College Auditorium, turned 90 degrees CCW. If you look at it that way, all of a sudden it doesn't seem abstract at all. Its the title and the rotation that makes it abstract. As with most of these pictures, the subject is "out of context". Cheers, -mikey

This looks like a smaller object held up against the sky, the perspective looks whacky but that's wot helps the abstract even more. Nicely done mate:-)

Very cool. Love the colors! Really interesting find!

Nice balancing act between natural & man-made forms, arguabley both abstract in my view - clouds by nature and the "stairs" because information is inadequate to understand their 'nature'. Technically well executed too. -tv
