Almost looks like a 3d render :)
You know, if I had my system intact and my body intact, I would have bet you that I could render this exact scene out in 3d in half a day. :)
Thanks Tejaswi. achieving a 3d character is a success in a 2d medium as is photography so I’m glad you see it that way :-)
I have no doubt about your abilities as the careful scenarios you construct in your stories prove… I hope things change so you can show us more of your creativity and skill to the world.
(btw half a day is pretty fast!)
:) Don’t praise me too much, Francis, you may regret it hahaha.
Yes, I used to be pretty good at the stuff, once upon a time, before I joined the Invalid Brigade.. I miss doing that.. the excitement of creating virtual worlds or special effects/vfx or just creating.. I was obsessed with work, always immersed in it. Which is how I ended up like this, I guess :)
Anyway, 3d work is easy compared to photography, trust me. I can never get the hang of it, nor the concepts, or framing of shots etc … Yes, half a day, and mostly for texturing and lighting. Once I recover, if I do, I want to do it in a more relaxed manner and value my time and effort a little more too. Who knows? Maybe soon :)
I hope it happens soon… What can I say, I understand you, I can get immerse in the work and sometimes I’ve been closer to damage hardly my body, so I always rest.
In architecture the drawings try to express a 3d idea in the 2d surface of a screen or paper, I guess that’s my only preparation for photography, in part it’s a way to reduce stress because I try to do it by instinct and nor rationalize it.
I can relate that, waiting for the program to render the lightning and texturing… that heavy task for computers. Take care, Tejaswi :-)
Thanks, Francis. But you take care too. Getting immersed in work is sometimes destructive :) You are still young and resilient, and you will be tempted to think that your body will sustain it forever. I thought so too. You take care :)
Yes, I think I learned the lesson a time ago… since then I always require a pause, feel or not tired, and try to get a routine of work-out and to walk. I think I can understand, thank you, Tejaswi, I’m grateful for sharing with me your experience of life :-)
I like this photo and your words. Love the sun shining in the picture.
I’m sure I’m going to find marvels in your memories about quarries, if this post inspire you to remember then that’s a big compliment to me, thanks Inese.
Bone soirée, Caroline :-) I calculated approximately four meters of height, and the distance from the carved ground to the top between six to seven meters… I couldn’t say if those numbers are high because that was the only time I was in a marble quarry.
It is so absolutely amazing Francis… if I were standing next to that big rock, I think I would want to stay there for hours and would have a hard time walking away… those rocks hold so many memories… they are so beautiful to my eyes…
Qhapaq 
Wonderful shapes in your brilliant photo and poetry! That diamond sun sure is shining. It must be very hot where you are?
Thank you, but it’s winter, in the highlands is hot in the sun but cold in the shadow. But your visit warm the night ;-)
Oh, thank you….keep warm, my friend! 🌝🍲🔥
Yes… thank you, take care you too 😃 dear 🌹

That’s the sun in our cities at 3800 meters above the sea level, I think ou would get amazing shots there :-)
What a stunning photograph! Quarries are a big part of my life, and one day I will write about them too. Thank you for this memory evoking post!
I’m sure I’m going to find marvels in your memories about quarries, if this post inspire you to remember then that’s a big compliment to me, thanks Inese.
So monumental – great! And the sun – so very intensiv. Awesome, Francis.

I’m glad it woke up in you such emotions, Ulli.
Thank you,
Francis.
Francis, tell me, how big is this rock…?

If I’d see there a lady from Quebec, standing in silence… I would think in the staging of a Greek classic… Perhaps you’d made me think in Andromeda and the rock…
If your time and generosity allow it someday you can know more about that place, Pusi, in this publication https://guaromekano.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/pusi-memories-of-inca-empire-fine-marble-blue-sky-and-a-red-apple/ Thanks for being here and for being you, Caroline.
