An unusual juxtaposition I just happened to catch. It's pretty, but at the same time I find it disquieting. The strangely alive-looking cloud, an unknowable, roiling mass off in the background, is simultaneously static and active, and also very much a stand-in for smoke from a conflagration, toward which the fire engine is speeding. Yet, the cloud/smoke and the fire engine occupy distinct, separate strata, whose axes are tilted in opposite directions -- is the fire engine even responding to the same fire? Perhaps they are not appearing in the same play at all. Very Surrealist, I'd say.
