You don't use so much color photos in your galleries, but when you do one cannot be indifferent to them, even when they are so abstract.

Forget Thalys, I see Picasso's guitar!

Love it as an abstract composition!! Thanks to Phil for more info.

I Googled Thalys, and learned that it is a high speed European train. With that context, the image acquires motion and implies speed. It is the flow of light and shadow as geometry that moves the image forward, just as the train itself is speeding towards Brussels. Without that context, I saw rhythms and patterns that moved forward through time, though not necessarily by rail. We learn from this image how important context can be in shaping visual meaning.

Great play with light!

Lines and shapes joined together, created by material and light at the same time. 'Faut le faire', we say in French.
