LJR said...: Yeah. That's an iconic image. The way the sirens are positioned creates a visual parallel to the rising, beckoning flow of the music.

Likewise, the sense that Ulysses is straining against the ropes is clear through the posturing, even though the details are few.

It's an awesome image.; November 16, 2011 at 8:29 AM
