Description The outside roof of the amazing looking Wine Cente - Adelaide, Australia.

Looking up at buildings as tall as this makes you feel so small, hence the 'amateur view.'

Hmm, when I look at this picture, it makes me think, "stairway to heaven." Very interesting. I'm not even that religious either lol.

its not often that i accidentally come across another deviant who is from adelaide. Your photography reminds me it is not necessarily what is around us that is interesting, but also the way we look at it. Keep up the good stuff

I...I feel so tiny...and dizzy because the curve makes it look like the building is going to "wobble" and topple over me. And I always see little fuzzy things in the very distant curved part of the building...optical illusion.

*woosh* it what comes to mind, at first glance. Yummy perspectice, and i like the composition with the clouds. I like the lighting, too, kinda fake-ish, cinsidering it's the roof of a building, but that's what I like about it

FABULOUS shot.......i need a moment. curves, lines, composition, use of space... colour, conception and clarity. all perfect. i 'feel' like i'm up high...slightly dizzying.. intreguing and fascinating. it takes a very special photography for me to favourite it...and this is one of them. i feel like space is just over the horizon and i am the tinyest soul in the universe. wonderful.

KylieKeene [2005-02-22 10:58:09 +0000 UTC]

this strangly reminds me of the the final stairs you climb in Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

I love the sky, it's just beautiful... but what can you expect from Australia. the rich vibrant blues and the whispy white clouds that just illuminate the light off the side of the roofing?
This also reminds me of a water tank, the galvanised look and rusting, if I didn't know it was in town I'd think this was in the bush, with red sand and dying trees.

Beautiful work.
