il gondoliere

First, I admit that I totally ripped off the Pink Floyd, The Endless River, CD cover. That being said, I did not use any of that image here. My Creative Commons sources are listed below, as always. I really like the concept of that cover, and I wanted to see if I could create something like it. I used a gondolier instead of a guy standing up in a rowboat and the view is from a slightly higher angle. I've seen the boat on clouds concept before, years ago in something by Jerry Uelsmann, so that idea is not new. New ideas can be hard to come by, so I often borrow from others and express them in my own way. Practice, practice, practice.
