Turning Japanese

Could Be A Hit (On The Big Screen)

This shot, taken a few hours ago, is reminiscent of one of those striking Japanese screen paintings, don't you think? But it doesn't always look like this. Let me start of the very beginning. I drive past the BMW showroom after work every day, but I do so in daylight. However, drive past a familiar scene in the dark and suddenly it acquires a completely different character. This is the top of the showroom and how dramatically the mundane view changes when there is a soft floodlight and the bare branches of a couple of trees in silhouette. I guess we all need to step away from familiar sights sometimes - and see them in an entirely different light.
