Yes, Ace, you got it! Ways that divide the picture in two parts as they continue to infinity, seem to play a big role in my ways to see.
Thank you very much, my friend!

And what a suggestion it was, Ahmad! I go buy b&w films, and then get out with the camera in hand.
Thank you for the idea!

In your list you have forgotten the landscape, the main part! That makes the problem: there are two subjects: the street and his figures and the landscape; both interesting but complitely separate for images, different light and colours. There are two pictures in one composition and I don't know wich observe, appraise, admire.
But lights are really splendid.

Hi Giuseppe
and thanks a lot for your very constructive comments. Indeed you are right! The two images in one are intended and one reason is exactly *because* the eye of the observer can't rest on one without being attracted from the other. The existence of two (or even more) separate images that "fight" against each other in one overall composition, is something that will keep appearing in my photos - a returning motiv, if you wish.
In one single image we always have myriads of distinct elements that in their selves are perhaps not as much important, as they do in their relation to each other when they alltogether form the picture.
But, what if a group of elements (here the asphalt, the car, etc) meets the other (here lake, mounts, etc) in such a way that the eye just has to oscillate between the two? The two harmonies combine to disharmony, as you say, and this is a very very interesting thing for an old mathematician.
In addition, in my opinion this is not a "normal" landscape. I use the landscape and the road to smuggle a very uncomfortable question. Is infinity where it all comes from, where it goes, and for the most important part: Can we comprehend what we will meet on the way? The uncomfortable feeling with such questions, I believe, can be very well transfered by usage of these two separate images in one, that (kind of) bite each other.
For more impressions of this disharmonious duality, see also http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=1058017 which Ace has commented already as "two images in one".
Thank you and best wishes for you my friend,
Nick

Hello Roberto,
and thanky you very much. Indeed the horizon is a bit tilt - the results of the road curve far behind? (Of of the inability of the photographer to get the horizon right ;-))
Thanks again very much and best wishes,
Nick
