Not so lately the system of shot dates was reconstructed, so now we can see just "1977" year, with no details...

Such intense colors as you can see on this shot are rather usual and even default for some digital cameras. Even though for this very photo author did it manually. As for "art" sections and the idea in general, let's look at this on the other hand. I think, we lack ...
