I love this picture by Fitz:

It's very surreal. I like the oranges and greys ("House" goes to Callanish)

Underneath the orb... are they stones or rucksacks?

And, I thought at first that some new photography technique had brought out some unknown fabby rockart (until I read the caption about the zebra print coat)

But that girl on the right is getting a right "talking to"! Who are you? What was being said? Were you about to go swimming? Gah sorry I'm just soooo nosey... ;)

"...are they stones or rucksacks?"

They're the uprights of the little burial cairn.

No idea about your other questions! ;^)

I really liked the photo too. I got home from Callanish and checked out my photos which all tended to be blurred orange dots on a black background, apart from this one which I didn't really see until I did something with the contrast or brightness or something like that.
I looked up ethereal in the dictionary to check it was the right word to use, the dictionary defined it as "... of unearthly delicacy of substance" Yeh that's the one, ethereal.

It doesn't look real at all, does it?

It looks staged or as if you have created the whole picture using collage.

Pretty cool, though!
