Ok, this is an image that i spent the better part of a day (total time) making, its really my first valid attempt at making something which i consider to be more of a professional work than my previous images.

The image itself is loosely related to the construction going on around my homestead. Growing up we used to be the top area of the little mountain (if you can call it that) and above us we always had a great deal of forest around us. But as time passed, they leveled much of the forest and paved a new road and made space for new housings which basically made our house end up smack in the middle of it. Personally i think they are overdeveloping the area a little bit now, but it isn't really a lot i can do about it. Anyway, there is this one spot where you could be all alone and have a full view of Stjørdal which is the local town. At night the scenery is just spectacular and if you ever really wished to show someone your gentler side, this was the spot to go, but alas even it was built in so now you got roof tops ruining the view as a whole.

I used to go there to think and be alone from time to time when i needed to clear my head and it was just the best place to reflect on things.

This image is sort of a reflection of how i saw that spot. I love the sea (well except when the rotting seaweed wash up and start smelling like millions of farts being released) and the solitude of the single tree represents the peace and quiet and the flowers is the beauty. And the tree is intended to look as it does. The coloration is to represent a little decay which i actually think can be a beautiful thing.

Anyway, i hope you like it as much as i do.

And i also wish to extend a thanks to the people whos stock images made this image possible:
