Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 4
Herculaneum, Italy - 22 October 2014
Located in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum was an ancient Roman town destroyed by a major volcanic eruption in 79 AD. In fact, it was completely buried. This image started off showing the dark and scary tunnel that leads to the now uncovered remains. But then I got adventurous and turned it into something more colorful and abstract, using a combination of Photoshop techniques including multi-layer blending, transformations and gradient mapping. I hope you like it

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Abstract visualisation: the dark tunnel into Herculaneum 4" transports us to the ancient Roman town of Herculaneum, nestled in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius. The image captures a sense of mystery and intrigue as it showcases a once buried tunnel that leads to the uncovered remains of this remarkable civilization. Originally depicting a foreboding darkness, the photographer's creativity took flight, transforming it into a vibrant and abstract masterpiece using various Photoshop techniques. Through skillful multi-layer blending, transformations, and gradient mapping, an explosion of colors emerged from what was once shrouded in shadows. The result is an artistic representation that invites viewers to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty found within these ancient ruins. With its layered effects and radial symmetry converging towards a vanishing point, this artwork evokes a sense of movement - as if we are descending down steps into another world. Herculaneum's tragic fate at the hands of Vesuvius' volcanic eruption in 79 AD is forever etched in history. However, through this image manipulation process, Jon Bower has breathed new life into its story. It serves as a testament to human resilience and our ability to find beauty even amidst destruction. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing creation by Universal Images Group (UIG), let us reflect on the enduring legacy left behind by civilizations past while appreciating the boundless possibilities offered by artistry and imagination.
