Isn't it Rain Steam & Speed? Not to be pedantic, but thougth I'd check. But it made me look closer. And the first thing I noticed was there's another bridge, over on the left, that I'd never noticed before. And then a little boat, down in the water. The river, Thamess as it happens. It seems it's a bridge at Maidenhead.... And finally, it seems, there is a hare on the track. Can anyone make it out?

Yes. Apologies. Keeping with the wind theme, I was evidently having a mind fart.

The hare is there, but not easy to make out - certainly in any scaled down reproduction:

As it happens I saw a Turner exhibition in Kyoto last week. Here's another of his steam-powered industrial revolution numbers:

Stunning.

Indeed. Privileged to have it in Glasgow.

I have a print of it (inherited from my Dad) plus i also now have one of Dali's similar painting, Hypercubus.

It depicts the 4 dimensional hypercube unfolded into a 4-armed cross which is then portrayed as the crucifixion scene.

Sorry i dont know how to add a photo. I'll have a try though.

Maybe that's another reason I don't get art  all the god botherer stuff. That picture is just a fantasy used to promote religion. The reality would be a picture of man nailed to a bit of wood dying, covered in vomit, shit and urine.
