Untitled No.71

This is a photo I took in Malta. I was standing in Valletta, on the steps of Pope Pius V Street looking down on Republic Street at the bottom. This intersection is at the City Gate, looking towards Parlament Ta’ Malta (top left) and the City Gate Arcade (bottom left). The pedestrians looked like L.S. Lowry figures. I perversely looked for something to fill the gap at the top of the opposing steps. I eventually came across the cable drum (note the cut off end) which was on the quayside dock in Yarmouth. It fitted perfectly. I then put in a ‘new’ sky which was an evening in Malta, with the contrasting clouds and the moon rising. The picture looks like a ‘Satanic Mills’ scenario.
