Visions from a future past.
Depiction of a colossal building, a dome covered city at it's top, in a barren environment set against a blazing sky with steam bellowing from it's exhausts. A lone space craft can be seen, either coming or going and there's a number of flying saucer tucked in the background, the whole suggesting there's a bit of traffic going on. There's sundry spires in the surroundings so this edifice isn't entirely alone.

I hope to convey the sense of wonder and outlandishness that this "genre" imparted and continues to impart in me, a future that while sometimes a little bit on the spooky side was at least thrilling and, ultimately, optimistic about humanities endeavors and adventures yet to come.
