A post apocalyptic concept of a moody morning in Somerset with a retro robot and a flock of dogs. This project is designed to draw attention to the problems of the human influence on the environment, such as climate change issues and environmental pollution. I'd like to demonstrate what could happen to our Earth in the future, and what kind of legacy we could leave to our descendants. I took a photo of a real model of a robot hand crafted and hand painted, a real landscape panorama photo I created myself early in the morning to make this shot.
