Will This Be There In Your Dreams

[Ted Byrne]

As you dream of tomorrow's cities, is there a place for gently aging homes like these? Or will they become debris-fill in the mounds that support huge high rise condominiums which offer amenities that compete successfully against the tractor beams of suburban McMansion development. No, I'm not asking you what should happen to this whispy, fading place... I'm wondering what will... in your dreams of the future.

As we already discussed in a post of yours at the POTN forum... blurry edges always push the scene towards being interpreted as being possibly part of a dream...

Here, the house seems to try to hug me, leaning forward and inviting me to come in, sit next to the chimney and listen to the stories the house has lived through. I cannot imagine people will ever lose the interest in old stories - although they will not always be told by old houses. But the metaphor this beautiful old lady shown here represents, this metaphor will always be found somewhere. Only that there will come generations that will look at photographs of such old houses and not having seen one in reality. Does this change the way they will feel about the houses? I don't think so. I never been in a pub of the wild west... but the stories I heard are the ground for my mind, my imagination to bring them to live. By creating photographs/paintings and stories, we make them immortal.

I like this print it give me the feeling that any moment it will start spinning and come up something different.

The only think i don't like in it is the magenta in the surrounding areas.
