This was a piece I did a few months ago for Crossed Genres' "Science in my Fiction" publication. A robot has been carefully tending gardens planted on abandoned highway overpasses.

Edit: I know it doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry.

This is perfect! I'm sure there could be a good story behind why your robot is growing vegetables. I like the design; very Asimov.

AHA!!! I FOUND IT!!
I came across this on the Internet once and fell in love with it, so YES! I FOUND IT AGAIN!

It may not make sense, but it sure does compute...!

This piece of art reminds me the great master Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky. So it is very much make sense if you know the animation. It is obviously not a fanart but it has same spirit. I loved it!!

Wow, this is beautiful. I love the way the robot is pausing to look up at a butterfly, of all things.

This is so lovely, and so poignant, evoking an image of looming destruction and the blossoming of hope; the barren industrial wonders reclaimed, in a way, by their own. It's just SO GORGEOUS, and the whole piece holds so much emotion; the lush, softened life-filled beauty of the flowers and the delicate beauty of the plants, the gentle signs of labour and dedication. I love the detail of the shovel, and the network of roots spreading across the wall, and the emotion the robots gentle posture is laden with, especially with the gorgeous and vivid burst of colour against his chest - at the risk of sounding unrepentantly soppy, near where his heart might be - and the humanness of the way he cradles the basket, supporting it. And carrots! And radishes! I have such irrational fondness for that because it looks like my mother's shopping from the farmer's market or out of our own garden.

It's just an utterly evocative, and I think it makes perfect sense: like a really good piece of art, it not only tells a thousand words of story, it tells a thousand words of multiple stories, all of them equally fascinating and emotionally engaging; the robot with emotion, the breakdown of the sophisticated concrete network of sterile highways or at least their intended utilization, the earth reclaiming it and the tin man, so to speak, built for the exact opposite nurturing that life.

It's beautiful because it DOESN'T make sense.

so beautiful

~Mhateos Sep 30, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

beautiful ! & it's a nice vision of future, the butterfly seems to be very mysterious, and robots more sage than humans !
