 The view from my room is quite lovely in the evening and in the morning. In this instance however it is evening and the sun is just setting. The Sketch doesn't give much indication to this however and we are left to wonder at the strange tower to the right and the many uneven bricks. The highlight is clearly the cross standing on top of the outer portion of the tower.

The Indian hanging from the wooden scaffold above a train yard is, for some reason, communicating with this bird. The man, or woman depending on which you prefer to see (it wasn't that specific) is confused at this spectacle and wants the Indian to come back down.

The view from my room in color is my favorite version of it. It doesn't quite capture the color of the picture version in person, due to the camera quality, but it still captures the authentic colors. The Cross is no longer the center of attention, and we are able to see a stain glass window on the outer tower, as well as a colorful display that it casts upon the floor through the balcony.

The Indian is still hanging from his scaffolding. The color of the building in the background reveals a flaw in the sketch-work, insomuch as not everything is dimensionally appropriated yet the color gives you the bizarre coloration of the Indian's clothing and the unique coloration of the bird upon his hand.





































The digital additions draw our attention most appropriately towards the spectacular display of colors found in the sunset. This is not the best version that I could manage, but it still brings out colors, even though exaggerated, that the camera could not pic out.

The digital enhancements gives the Indian and his surroundings a sort of blend effect that helps us to ignore the glaring oddity of the poor dimensions of the building.
