Artist's Comments

Taken at the Seenachtsfest in Konstanz/ Kreuzlingen at the Swiss/ German border.
Once a year both sides of this huge lake hold a huge street party kind of thing, with lots of stands and bands and people getting drunk and trying their best not to fall into the water. It all culminates in a huge firework, first by the Swiss, and then the German side, both trying to outdo each other, with bigger bangs, more vibrant colours, cheesier music...

This here is a little dingy floating on the lake with two people on board, who weren't too keen on social interaction.

I thought the image made for a great contrast: the two shapes sitting in their tiny boat, quite possibly sipping wine and huddled up in a blanket looking up and watching the sky explode in all colours of the rainbow.

I refuse to go the way of seeing this as the sea of blood type thing, thats just lame... ;)

:iconphantomporks:
it does look weird, eh? thats the part of the water thats closest to the land. guess the waves look different there. tried cropping it, but that didn't look so great...

hehe... i dunno... i was thinking of a title that combines the calmness of the two floating along in their boat and at the same time the sky exploding above their heads... and then i thought of a rage against the machine track called calm like a bomb... and since i'm bad with titles... ;)

glad you like the colour - and its all natural, too! :D
