Interesting discussion about the word ' plasticity ' occured here. In Dutch it called 'plasticiteit ' and that was the word I wanted to translate. It is as 'house' stated a competely normal word to use in art. I ought to know because
I have been teaching plastic arts for 26 years.
I like the almost organic growth of these storehouses at the backside of there houses
I don't think there have been to many built-environment/city planning restrictions in the past.

In deed it is hard to talk/write about art, that is why artists chose another métier/way to express themselves. Still it is possible to describe the motives of an artist why he/she creates these works.

Most of my life I have been working as a sculptor and my way of looking at things are influenced by the way a sculptor looks at things for inspiration.
The organic growth of these volumes/buildings make me think about how one could make a sculpture or even a painting for that matter.
If you look through your eyelashes you could discover a cubistic painting in this scene.
That is what attracts me so much in photography because you can discover objects by framing them into
something new. Abstract art made by people wihout intentention. I like that thought.

For example the following photographs give me that same feeling; very sculpture like images.

Thank you for the insights and examples that support my tendency to learn by induction.

I forgot to comment on this when you posted it. I am just in love with the rendering of this low light scene.

Lovely stuff, Paul. Delightful result, makes me miss Sydney! Did I ever send you the star trail pano I took from this spot? Probably should not post it here, as I shot it using Nikon products a few years back...

No I don't think you did. Love shots of Corfe Castle. Have never been there - it's quite famous for spring/autumn mist shots...

Thanks, chaps.

Paul - I have been going there for years but never got great mist conditions. Will keep trying!
Mike - thanks, but the image is quite noisy, despite using the same settings I typically use in Oz. Must look into your stacking technique...

A couple of people have asked me if I have other versions of the scene I posted earlier today... So, here is one. On reflection, I probably prefer this one anyway.
