"Apocalypse Please", a photo from Drenthe, Nord

Photographer's Note

A beautiful day can turn into a nightmare in a splitsecond. heavy clouds can fill even the clearest sky and reflect evil in the bluest water...

or you can just use a filter and play with a toner...

Tough atmosphere, I agree with your note. Good use of filter but to me too much grain. Maybe clear it or it was your intention ?

Looks like a scene out of a japanese horror movie. Its like The Ring or something. Fantastic colors and just perfectly dark to evoke a scary mood.

Helloooooooooo Jorrit, you were on my mind today!! Missed you a bit, just a bit of course ;-)
Yes, this is a bit creepy picture, and what you describe in your note, is usually how these kind of movies begin. Indeed, I have the feeling that I can go on walking to a vanishing point here.
Wow, you have done something impressive to this picture.
nnnnnnnice!

I clocked this one because I love that Muse song. Excellent illustration for it, better than the 'Absolution' cover design, you ought to give them a ring :-)

This is good sh$t Jorrit, right from the thumbnail was very interesting, and actually I thought that
Benedetto
is posting again. Well I am not disappointed it's not him because this is good, good choice of filer, grain is fine with me althoug on a heavy side, mood in the image is fantastic, good compo. Perhaps a scared child walking in the middle would have made it even better.

Maybe Apocalypse, maybe not :-) Neverteheless it evokes deep feelings about the thick atmosphere there. Nice shot.

You can transform a peeacefull place in an hell.

It seems to be on Poland, exactly at the entrance of lager of Auschwitz: the footpath (?)reminds me the tracks at the end of the fatal route. The use of filter and the toner give a very cold winter atmosphere and I can see all those people to shiver and to shudder.
The title is evocative of the scene I have in my mind but I'd prefer it without the word "please".

Not bad at all my English, Jorrit.

Say "ciao" to Ale.

Very lithy like in some ways, it really rocks for the toning effect. I'm wondering how you got that with what paper and toner brand...

Seems like you're torn between the peaceful bucolic Mr.VanderMolen and Jorrit the serial Madman...
