Fictitious Album Cover 8

Description

Admittedly, it's been a while since I came out with an album cover design, which is why when the idea for this one popped into mind, I felt it begged to be created.

What's the inspiration, you say? When reading through my Bible earlier this week, I came across the Parable of the Sower:

Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear.”
-- Matthew 13:3-9

When spelled out like that, this design is pretty straightforward: just four images illustrating the four locations upon which the sower's seed falls. If you read the rest of Matthew 13, you'll see the explanation for what exactly is symbolized by the seed and the four locations.

Credit for the original photographs goes to those who took them. I simply searched for all of them on Google.

Like Coji at first I thought it was meant to be calming landscapes. :XD: But after reading your description it kinda makes you think.
