From a Bill Swartwout Photography Landscape Scene
The Galaxy Collective is reminiscent of a Spiral Galaxy in our universe – only pictured in the cobalt blue of a local landmark in Coastal Delaware.
This jigsaw puzzle is a derivative work created from an existing photograph with the predominant colors being cobalt blue and black. The picture to the right is the original, a rainy night capture of Fort Miles’ Fires Control Tower #3, an artifact of World War II. (Click the picture to learn more about it.)
The abstract spiral was created from FCT #3 in a Delaware State Park near Dewey Beach, Delaware. This concrete World War Two structure is circular and tall and was built to assist in protecting the Delaware Bay from enemy incursion.
FCT #3 is currently being restored as a museum structure and is lighted at night by cobalt blue spotlights. The tower was originally photographed by Bill Swartwout in a swirling rain. The cobalt blue swirl was, hence, derived from the original image keeping only the blue of the tower and the black of the sky. A collection of lights swirling against a black void is, of course, a galaxy, a spiraling collection of stars and, in this instance, in cobalt blue.
