Global Warming

@gailmmeek challenge me to do an abstract. Ouch not my strong suit. But I am posting tonight three attempts. Please be kind. Been seeing a lot on rising oceans lately and so this is what occurred to me. I have see some pictures like this labeled abstract on the internet. (Done much better).
@gailmmeek posted three attempts at an abstract tonight. Don't expect much

Not an abstract for me Joan - I don't much care for them anyway - but there's some poignant imagery here, nevertheless. One day soon, this beautiful old industrial building is going to be destroyed... not by the hand of nature but by the hand of he who built it.

@vignouse I enjoy some abstracts but not something I understand very well. But I have seen some pictures put together like this labeled abstract so I went in three directions to see if I could hit something.

It is very interesting...and a bit scary when I think about what it means. Lovely attempt. Me, I know nothing except what my eye likes!

Unique processing and lovely.

Looks like something out of a movie or a painting.

That is quite a scary image - I wouldn't have thought it abstract, but I can see why it would be labelled abstract. You've done really well with the editing.
Thanks so much for attempting the challenge. Great work.

@eyesmile I'm with you there. Some abstract I like but create one I don't know.

@atwinfay @debbie3108 Thank you I think you are probably being nice to me.

@gailmmeek Gail, I through myself into challenges and often do several postings.

Clever editing and powerful imagery Joan. Well done!

@joansmor Ha, ha, I don't do kind! I first looked at it on my kindle and now I'm on my computer I think it looks even better. I do think it has texture like a painting.

I was looking up "conceptual" photographs and I think this might be one of those! Most of the stuff I've seen labeled abstract on 365 has little to nothing identifiable.

@mei_photography Thank you. It was fun and I got to make a statement w/o making a statement.

@debbie3108 Than thank you for your wonderful comments.

@francoise On this site I too have seen nothing like this, but on Bing when I look up Abstract I have seen some. But I looked up conceptual and I like that and this fits. That would give me another idea for a get-pushed challenge. Thanks.
