Anthropocene Mountain - Framed by Tom Rossiter: March 29, 2020

Overcast, quiet and blue all the way down.

Anthropocene Mountain, March 29, 2020, is a framed photograph by Tom Rossiter, ca. 2020. A great deal of landscape photography waits for spectacular light, while this kind of image finds its interest in symmetry and mood instead. Here the Chicago skyline stretches along the center under a low, rolling ceiling of gray-blue cloud, with only a faint touch of pink at the far left. The mirrored half below repeats the towers and dissolves into the same soft clouds. A wide, heavily crackled black frame closes it in. It is 33 inches wide and 33 high.

Gray, but the elegant kind.
