how can we dance when our beds are burning?

this is the madly insane way my mind works...

this image was put together for the mad minute word challenge... today's word is mesonoxian... meaning "of or related to midnight."

http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/17876/mad-minute-word-mesonoxian

1st thought: burning the midnight oil
2nd thought: the band
3rd thought: one of their biggest hits

and yeah, i KNOW the words are:

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How can we sleep when our beds are burning?

but "dancing" and "burning bed" made for a better visual...

(better large, i think)

just so i remember later: this is two images (both taken today) layered in PSE... brought into colour efex to add glamour glow, graduated fog and low key (to help offset some of the fog effect of lightening things i didn't want lightened)

[Simply Amanda]

Love that song. Wicked edit. Cool idea. Sad about your bed though. Enjoy your couch tonight;-).

[Edie]

This is fantastic. I think your last tag is the quote of the year.

[Kate Klinck]

cool!!!

[Mary Downing Hahn]

Love the picture, love the song.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Adam]

Wild! Nice work Northy.

[joey d.Muli]

Awesomeness !!----cool band :)

[Fiona Maclean]

Great shot and creativity

[Mac]

That's stuck in my head now. Cool and creative idea. I love the movement on the right.

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

Oooh go you!! I totally love that song and this is fab.

[Abhijit]

love this shot.

[Taffy]

I LOVE how your mind works!!! What a creative shot!

[Katie]

Whoa, crazy cool!

[Kd Wallis]

Very neat and well done!

[Sally Ings]

Seriously creative!

[amy spada]

Haha... great thought process. And intelligent edit.

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Very clever, northy. And your thinking is even more convoluted and abstract than mine tends to be.

Funnily enough my entry was going to be musical, too. I had a list of songs
"2 minutes to midnight"
"Midnight"
"Down in the tube station at Midnight"
"Midnight Rambler"
"Midnight Train To Georgia"
"Midnight Ravers"
"Midnight Blue"
"Midnight Log"
"Midnight Flyer"
"In The Midnight Hour"
"Midnight Express"
"Midnight Lady"
"Midnight Rider"
"Midnight To Midnight"
and was going to see what I could do with as many of them as possible, but I simply ran out of time. IBE (I Blame @edie )

[emily tull]

cool!

[Catherine Pace]

love the contrast from one side to the other and blurry dancing image

[Robyn]

fun one!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fabulous effect. Yet again you've managed to take a selfie and remain mysterious. Very well done xx

[Quin]

this is amazing. your mind is awesome!

[☠northy]

@psychographer tx Lisa! but not me this time... One of my boys :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

@northy Whoops! Sorry! xx

[dh (delena)]

I'm relieved that you didn't actually set fire to your bed for this shot. I would hate to be responsible for you burning your house down.

[KWind]

Excellent editing!!

[Kitti Nelson]

Well - you are certainly not experiencing 'poverty of thought' in fact you're on fire! (someone had to say it and I have no control over this keyboard!) Love this - but I love your thoughtstream even more!

[Jocasta]

Love this - so creative

[☠northy]

@Cheesebiscuit what on earth did @edie do to you?

[Edie]

I am so sorry...wait...what? Was it because I made you clean my car because that wasn't me. Is IBE going to become a 'thing'? Just curious.

[David]

Yes, we are getting quite a picture of how your mind works! It's good but would have been so much more dramatic and less technically challenging if you had sacrificed the bed!

[❀ Lynn]

Cool!

[Peter de Graaff]

It could be pretty hot dancing to my mind

[MaryBeth Dailey]

Okay, you went ALL OUT on this one for the Mad MInute! Just wow!

[Gloria]

Completely ridiculous. Awesome-ness and fav
