Strange Pictures Thread


Redruth

It's Mt Saint Helens, before the eruption. Knowing that makes it a bit fucking eerie to look at, but also a lot of the pictures of St Helens before the blast look a bit fake in a weird way. I can't quite place why some of pictures feel fake to me, but this one is easy because there are a lot of doctored elements to it, probably because it was meant for a postcard, but still. I think the what if I told you thread is having an effect on me, lol.

Dunno, only thing that looks doctored to me is the branch at the upper side but that might be the light that falls in weirdly that makes it appear so because it is placed at a spot where someone who would put it in in post wouldn't place it because it's compositionally a very weird place to locate that branch. I think what makes the pic look weird is the colours. Everything looks very pink and sweet and highly saturated but worn out at the same time, that reminds on Twin Peaks

^good point of course! Middle Eastern advancements (as well as Asia east, plenty of others) have long been ignored by Western history. There was tons of information being shared across cultures as evidenced by that Wiki article suggests, but it doesn't seem to be common knowledge.

 

Fun fact, the Galen mentioned in that article was one of many inspirations for my last album, he got a sort of shout out in a song title in fact :)

You know they're good when the seller drops the price 25% before they can even finish creating the ad.
Note: There is no mention of any "stuffing" or ingredients.
