Artist's Description
This collage (in the original meaning of the word) was great fun to compose. It is based on a photograph I took of the view from a hot air balloon down on to a railway, or railroad yard in Yorkshire, UK. I found the graphic arrangement pleasing.

Nigel Radcliffe replied:
Thanks very much, Douglas, for these comments, especially when you have such expertise yourself. I am a bit disappointed in the dull colours and feel it is rather too literal but the search was, I say, quite fun. The concept of searching rather than finding, is totally different, isn't it.
