Once again, this is another photo of mine revolving around an old, disused mill here in Bradford, these images forming the part of my blog where I have to post my own images.

Unlike the previous picture, this has so much more going for it, and so much more to write about.

For a start, you can evidently see the new in the foreground, old in the background, as seen in the last photograph i discussed, however there are so many more things to interest the viewer in this photo.

First of all is the rather interesting angle which the photo was taken from, which makes the chimney in the background look like it is adjoining the old people's home in the foreground, rather than being placed much further away than the viewer would probably think. This gives the viewer a false sense of depth in the image, because the chimney tower is actually a lot further away than it seems.

And then there is the horizon in the background, making me think back to the very basic scientific principles, that if i can see locations over there, then, supposedly, people in those locations can see the mill and its tower. I can certainly see the mill and tower from my flat in Dennis Bellamy Halls, on the other side of Bradford!

The way that the image is framed is to still make the chimney be the first eye-catching thing to the viewer, but still making the houses in the foreground instantly noticeable to the viewer, while they don't necessarily pay attention to them first, preferring to look at the chimney or cooling tower first.
