080 - City Sky Summer

I really wanted to experiment with translucent overlays that look like the coloured film they used to use on spot lamps for stage lighting, but the right image has not come along. Instead, I combined my plan to use more block colour with the one to make use of the great overhead trolleybus wires I see at almost every major junction on my drive to and from work.

Now it is getting towards summer I roast gently in my car in the traffic, I love living in a city despite being born in the country. I wanted to show that burning heat along with the balmy early night that sums up some of what I enjoy the most - and get both in the same image. There are other ideas in the image, but what I would really like to say is that this image gets better the bigger it is - those colours just seem to spread and take on a much different look, more representative of the size of a city.
