Quanto È Bello L'Ultimo Tramonto (End of the World Sunset)

I used to have a really scratchy LP of "La Bohème", and I misheard the line "Volevi dire--bella come un tramonto" as "Quanto è bello l'ultimo tramonto" (which very nearly makes sense, in fact). I didn't realize I had misunderstood the words until I got a CD years later.

Anyhow, I liked the misheard lyrics, so I decided to make a picture about them. Even if this is the last night ever, these scruffy ol' rats don't care. They are enjoying the late summer warmth.

Heeey! I saw the thumbnail and directly thought "Socar!", and it seems like I was right :D (Big Grin)

Don't have much more to say, I like it (well, duh :P (Lick) )

And I also like the fact that it seems much more rich in color than some of your other images including rats. I suck at writing a crit when my brain isn't quite functioning though.

This is just crazy beautiful. It's classical and what art should be like. I love the whole feeling behind it. It's so magical how even though it's the last sunset the rats are still at peace and are ready to go.. Or it could just be that "ignorance is bliss", but let's go with the first one. Anyways, please keep it up and plus fave.

The golden oranges are so beautiful and warm! And that tree is amazing, it looks rough and strange, and just the way that all trees should look. ^__^
