I thought the title fits, and some have said it looks like something outta the game Half Life lol hey, would someone grab me the newspaper please!?!? lol I bet the people inside were like "what is this guy doing with a camera in my driveway!?!??"

HDR

Thoughts welcomed!

This photo is amazing! I find it quite unique about the top right corner looking as if an explosion is happening. Then adding the color and roughness to the picture just gives it that creepy old look. I also was interested because of the trees. They look as if the plant life can't be sustained anymore, along with the grass which looks as if the heat has scorched it to the ground. Just to stand in that area at that moment would blow my mind away. To be standing in the street breathing those last breathes before death hits us all. That would be one frightning exsperience.

FrictionX42 [2010-05-09 19:18:25 +0000 UTC]

heh, I have people wondering what the heck I'm doing with that camera all the time. I find it interesting that almost nobody ever actually ASKS though. They'll just 'politely' ignore me...

Meh, I get my pictures done. That's all that matters to me.

I absolutely love this picture, awesome image, and i'm sure the ride back to the police station for trespassing was soooo totally worth it lol. The fact that i love the colour orange is just an added bonus.

We've had a couple sunsets like that...but none recently...most of the time when they are like that there is fire somewhere near...

Sort of a departure from your usual photos - but still totally stunning! That you submitted it on 9/11 gives it more of a solemn undertone.

This image is stunning. The colors and shades really give it that extra Ooomph! The title fits extremely well and even goes a step further if you look at the date it was submitted. I have to ask, was that on purpose or just pure coincidence?

strangelight [2008-10-05 18:13:58 +0000 UTC]

Now this is an HDR that looks all the better for being that way. Quite surreal...makes what would have been perhaps a beautiful but mundane sight much more special.

PhotoFuego [2008-10-02 12:32:36 +0000 UTC]

It's hard to believe that this shot is real with those colors. Like someone put the sky on fire at the same time as the trees not having any leaves, there are no people around gives a slight feeling of a creepy ghost town.
