On one hand, this makes me think of a shrine with the mighty figure (don't know who he is) and all the flowers sorrounding him. But then it is incongruent the beautifullness of the flowers with the city showed in the background, as far as I know, for the moment the streets and buildings are done by portland and tar not by flowers, though in the other hand it seems that they whant us to think it is like a heaven, totaly idealistic all together loveley flowers that fill the city of charm with new marvelous building and a loveley sky, even if you whant you have the paternalistic figure in this old man. A good marketing thought I have to say, pitie that reality is not that beautyfull.
I somehow missed this, Jen. It is shocking to me. Surrealistic color and incongruous juxtaposition of the work of man against the work of nature. Wonderfully expressed with your wideangle's vertical perspective.
