Description As an old and faithful sentinel, the proud tower seems to watch over the ever-growing so-called civilization, crawling and swarming like a steel and concrete cancer treacherously riddling Mother Nature...

Where are we going?
Why so many roads to nowhere?
What do we fear?
Why so many walls for nothing?

It’s not so difficult to understand that we are really the only danger for ourselves...

great photo, i love the warm colours of land contrasted to the dark sky
that tower looks like the last remnant of history, almost out of place in the modern cityscape!

Spectacular, I love how the temple stands high on the hill on the right hand side. Giving it a kind of mythological feel to it. And I love your methods of making all of your photographs stand out in color and come alive.
Another piece very well done.

I loved the last sentinel, with aid of powerful clouds, resisting the advance of the "progress" that brings the pollution, the concrete and the human being depersonalization.

I really like this a lot. Very nice view and colors.


I just think the sky looks like it had an extreme amount of photoshop work done to it but then again I don't know what the original looked like.


Great work.
