Yeah, it could be. It could be one of Edison't inventions too. LOL I know, the spark that gave Frankenstein life! I only mention him because my daughter's reading that novel right now. LOL I take it Atlantis is buried way down deep underneath the orb. Jolly Green color too.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

Er... if you say so.

On second thoughts, no, not even if you say so.

It's beautiful, you know - wonderful greens, marvellous contrasts of shadow and light, textures and layers. Nice depth and symmetry. A sense of the wild tamed.

I see this as a very green image. This is a design for a renewable energy supply of the future - a sort of horizontal windmill, by the looks of it. The orb on top is the point of connexion with the national grid - the electricity generated flows from here to wherever it is needed. I'm guessing the colouring is chosen for two reasons: first, symbolic; second, a half-hearted and clearly unsuccessful attempt to blend into the countryside thus avoiding some of the objections to more traditional wind farms. Unless the countryside is _really_ polluted, I can't help think poisonous, glowing green was an inadvisable choice, but that's colour consultancy for you.

Fantastic work - it is rather beautiful, so definitely an improvement over some of the windmills. Still, I think design has a ways to go. One on the desktop is one thing, a countryside full of the things is quite another. Bit more difficult to change the look when you want to, for one thing...

It rules, John! And it looks quite powerful and dangerous. The patterns and greens are terrific, and I love this angle, as if viewed from the floor. An excellent image, my friend. :)

I like some of Cindy's ideas. Especially the Frankenstein one. Maybe I can incorporate this image into my lesson plans somehow? ;)
