picture of futuristic emergency vehicles and personnel deployed to a disaster area where a fire or explosion of some kind is raging between several skyscrapers, done in beautiful reds and purples throwing shadows dancing in the glass towers and wet light glowing on the streets. the machines are sleekly designed more like starships than ambulances, large powerful muscular beasts commanding the setting, workers in protective gear are engaged in various tasks, some on the ladders, operating the hoses, others evacuating the injured, other guard the perimeter to hold back the bystanders, a stirring concert of light and shadow and rich vibrant color, an electrifying scene filled with action, human resourcefulness and scientific progress. it shows what the future could be if humanity had the chance.
