Headline text

from the 6th of december it get bold down

Transparent People

It's got transparent people for starters! This can't possibly just be exposure time - They have no heads! Even if it was an old-style box camera, there would still be heads somewhere on the image, even if a few inches to the left of the body. Then there are also other semi-transparent people at the left and right sides.

Face in the sky

And then there's the thing in the sky - 2 dots and a line? What's with that?? It kinda looks like a face, with an element of 'WHAT THE HELL' to it.

Street Lamp

The street-lamp, 2 lights?? Self-Explainitary weird. Lights have TWO light to them!

Red 'Laser Lights'

The cemetery (I assume; it looks like there are headstones there) at the left side too, with red lines through it. I thought that was car lights, again by exposure time, but there's rocks there..no cars are going to be driving there.
Anyway, that's enough of my haunting rant, does anyone else see anything to this, or am I just looking too deeply into the numerous hauntings of this picture??

As the photographer that took the pic, I can safely tell you that you're looking too far into it. The transparent people is explained by the exposure length of about one second. The heads tend not to be as visible because they're (often) darker than the clothing. Then again, most of the blured people do have heads. The 'face in the sky' is a plane. It was probably getting ready to land so its landing lights were on, as well as the blinking lights on the wing tips which resulted in two dots as it flew. As for the street lamps.. some have two - self explanatory simple. As for the red lights, they were the trails of the rear tail lamps of cars that drove past. Its not a graveyard. They're just rounded rocks that mark and provide a barrier at the edge of the road so pedestrians don't get hit, presumably. Does that explanation help??? :-) Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 10:55, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok thanks. Now that I look at the road properly, I can see that they are probably the rounded rocky things you said that they are. And as for the light, I meant it looked like a style that should only have one on it. Thanks for the clarification, but I still feel there is a little bit of spiritual influence in that photo. But other than those features that scared me, it really is a good picture, great quality, and good focus on the main object - the bin in front of that giant building :P.

Congrats

My congratulations, not for style or composition, but for being able to capture a largely-uncluttered image of the building - it was a great vexation for me to try and minimise tourists, roads and other structures and I ultimately failed...You however, have magically succeeded.
