A bit of a surreal scene. Have the aliens invaded earth? I wouldn't have stopped my bike there but you did and thus you unhid this scene. Thanks for entering.

Something I quite like about this, John. Very cool capture!

I really like both your entries for the sheer freshness/spontaneity of them.
I feel submerged in both, hardly distanced at all.

Thanks, Sky. I thought that this image fit the challenge theme because it didn't have enough dynamic range. The sun was too bright and hid half the sky with photographic anomolies and the shadows are too dark, refusing to cough up their details. I know the horizon is off kilter, that the buildings on the side are leaning in, and the scene has all kinds of unmatched elements, not the least of which are the leopard skin bicycle seat and the purple poltergeist. The triangle building is the local Holiday Inn...jrdu

John - I'm bedazzled! I love that lamp post which compliments the dynamic sun. This is terrific, John!
