Solus

Description

A play on words. I use 'Solus' because of the orange, alone against the blue. Although the opposite side is also lightly orange, I want to use 'Solus' because the orange on the right is mostly by its self.

I say a play on words because 'Solus' also means solitary, uninhabited, and the orange is the opposite of that. It is inhabited, while the ones that are blue are not - thus reflecting the blue sky rather than reflecting what is within.

Taken in Budapest with a fisheye lens.

I first read the title as 'souls', and interpreted the blue windows as dead empty souls, a contrast to the lively orange of the living soul. Either way, the symbolism is beautiful.
