What an amazing shot! One gets the impression that the guy walking through small archway has a magical cloak of protection, much like the one Harry Potter owns. By the way, I could use one of those cloak things. The heavy dark towers, the gloomy looking bridge looming above, the narrow tunnel, the dim beam of light cast upon the glistening, leathery-looking old cobblestones...all give it a dreamlike quality with so many associations.
The mood of everything about this picture reminds me somehow of Pink Floyd's “Echoes” album cover, René Magritte's "Empire of Lights" and Giorgio de Chirico's paintings with their film noir impact. There's just so much going on in here...it's both medieval and modern, dark and bright, artificial and natural, great textures. This picture is an impeccable work of art...intense, dramatic and somehow otherworldly.
