MidSummer Day’s Dream
DESCRIPTION
This image captures the essence of the abstract beauty of the La Muralla Roja in Calpe, Spain, focusing on the interplay of light & shadow, contrasting pinks and blues, and layers of interlocking geometric forms. The cleanliness and almost surreal quality of the building’s structure seems almost like coming from a labyrinth in a midsummer day’s dream, save that the viewer will be reminded of reality by the small central opening of lush, thus obscuring the boundaries between dream and reality.
