(a) It's great to stir some kind of response!
(b) I did something deeply unnatural and impossible by wrenching buildings whose tops would normally converge due to the laws of perspective into a forced rectilinear shape. It SHOULD look wrong, yet oddly confident in its wrongness. I've been enjoying doing this. I'm a serial perspective offender.
(c) the darkness and dramatic cloud action do make it look as if something evil is brewing over that-a-way. Which, you know... [waves about]
@jbm looking at it on my desktop there's no creepyvision - i think it's different screen gamma on my phone which made the building on the left look like the light patches are great open arches and so it's not a building, it's just a massive pointless arched wall - Cyclopean architecture with repellent angles surviving from some ancient civilisation lost to the aeons, even.
Yes, I've been listening to Lovecraft audiobooks.
@bet Oh, great! I love it when a photo makes people pause and digest it, instead of just sliding smoothly by.
In case you're curious about techniques... note that in addition to the fussing with perspective, the cloud drama is thanks to a combination of (1) just a great day for clouds in real life, (2) an actual physical real-world glass 090 red filter (not any newfangled use of that word) before the monochromatic digital sensor, and, yes, (3) some digital local contrast enhancement of the sky.
