As abstract as this shot is, I had the strangest feeling that I've seen this before. Then I noticed where it was taken and realized I HAVE seen this before :) Nice shot! Great feeling to it.
Martin Gremm  Thank you, Jeremiah! Freeway park in Seattle. Have you been recently? I spoke to some park rangers and they were talking about fixing up this fountain. I wonder if this shot is still available.

Congrats on the front page feature Martin.

Great shot, very "Blade Runner" feel.
Martin Gremm  Thank you very much, Jeremy! I was (very pleasantly) surprised to see it here a few days ago. I was thinking Matrix/Blade Runner thoughts while exploring this place. I guess it shows :)

This one has slipped past me before. Great image for the front page, congratulations. A great abstract and use of a different perspective in a very creative way that really creates a surreal, dreamy feeling.

Amazing picture, Martin! It is so good to revisit it.
Martin Gremm  Thank you, Ursula. Seeing it again this makes me want to go back to Seattle in the spring. They have so many photogenic attractions :)
Ursula I Abresch  Seattle. Hehe, I can do that easy. Sooo, where in Seattle is this? :)
Martin Gremm  Freeway Park. Be prepared to spend hours cloning out trash. The place is not exactly clean.
Ursula I Abresch  Freeway Park. Alright. And clone out trash, what else is new for Seattle :) Thanks!

Perhaps not such a pleasant dream? Powerful work, Martin.
Martin Gremm  Perhaps not. Dreams like this probably sapped my imagination regarding your recent work...
King Douglas  You know I was just being playful. :>)
Martin Gremm  Of course! My earlier response wasn't exactly intended to be serious either :)

Martin Gremm  It does have a few lines :) Thank you, George!

I think you should change the "equpiment used" to Photoshop.
Martin Gremm  LOL, that's actually even more accurate than you probably know. This place was littered with trash. I probably spent an hour cloning it all out before adding all the other PS buffoonery. Thanks for the comment, Brian! It made me laugh.

This is an awesome capture Martin ... I am looking into nothingness at the center of the image ... and the walls nearly seem to move ... excellent contrast and the toning just fits perfectly here ... great job!
Martin Gremm  I am glad you like it, Björn! This is actually the central attraction in a Seattle city park. People up there have eclectic tastes :)

Very cinematic. Matrix feeling with the green tones. An image with speed......
Like it :)

/Anna
Martin Gremm  I was thinking Matrix thoughts while playing around with this shot. Good to hear that is worked to some extent. Thanks, Anna!
I feel like i am insida a sawmill, that runs with speed! :O) Great contrast and the colour is really great! Well done and i hope this isnt a nightmare you have captured! :O))
