I always feel that it is the right audience to share great art and ideas with.

I strained my head around trying to figure out exactly where the location was. It wasn't till I looked at other paintings that featured familiar architecture that just didn't seem.... right... that I realised that the artist was taking liberties with the landscape and slotting elements together that would make them seem familiar, but were actually impossible combinations of known landmarks.

We don't allow them within about 400-500km of our major cities. <br /><br />You know, I have an obsession with european and Russian industrial complexes. Here in Australia we haven't had anything near the level of industrialisation as other countries, and it always seems like these places are in another world. Whenever I come across photo projects of neglected ex industrialised areas in this part of the world I find it incredibly fascinating. I also care a lot about the stories of people who had worked in these areas and what their lives are like now.

I get a lot of that here in Tbilisi. :) Even some of the Soviet-era neighborhoods have an "industrial" feel to them.<br /><br />The Mercedes truck reminds me of being a small child and learning of the Australian road trains. (I'd never heard of British Leyland before then and it sticks specifically in my mind associated with them.) In the US we have do trucks with three short trailers, but I've only seen three in my life.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280294152270101017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-1630746207877438952013-11-06T03:17:26.550-08:002013-11-06T03:17:26.550-08:00I swear I recognise that laneway in the 'Spart...I swear I recognise that laneway in the 'Spartacus' painting.

I love Hopper's works. There's a certain level of sensuality in them which made every one beautiful.
