The Hidden Door To NGC 4414 *

NGC 4414 is an unbarred spiral galaxy about 62 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. The portal to the wormhole that allows you to get there really is hard to find. ;-)

Neat find - I love the colorful graffiti hiding the doorway!

Tyler, it is not as nice as you may expect. Please just have a look on the other side of this door:http://upload.pbase.com/image/77727469
Cheers,

Great find and composition. I think the centered, straight-on framing forces the viewer to focus on the door rather than the lavish graffiti. So did you go through? And if so, why no pics?

Great hidden portal. I'd love to see someone coming out of it! The light, shadow, and color of the graffiti in such a randomized pattern work as an abstract, and the geometrics of the door bring it back to reality.

But once you get there, it's really just more of the same...;)
Super catch, Frank. I like the almost subliminal segmented panels in the wall along with the mystery door. If this was on a canvas, it would probably fetch 6 figures.
