Unusual Landscapes by Kaushik Dolui

We humans are part on nature but man-made artifacts  in vast landscapes may also affects our mind in a different way. All I tried to express how much it attracts us in forms, colors and shapes against a vast mountain landscape of timeless terrain.

We humans are part on nature but man-made artifacts  in vast landscapes may also affects our mind in a different way .

All I tried to express how much it attracts us in forms, colors and shapes against a vast mountain landscape of timeless terrain. Sometimes it seems unnatural, mysterious and unusual. Just takes a surreal approach to landscapes. But they are nonetheless a part of this world.

A hut, a hoarding, a dustbin by the lakeside, a large chimney in a industrial place, a letterbox placed outside a village road ,a plastic drum used for fishing  or a salesman table everything attract us against a vast mountain or a hilly  landscape, without them the landscape becomes barren, we are always looking for something as if to breathe life though all these are manmade artifacts
